I think I like this patch better than Stephen's, but despite causing the
problem I'm not sure what I can do at this point.

Rusty, can you take
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.27-rc5/2.6.27-rc5-mm1/broken-out/net-fix-compilation-ng-when-config_module.patch

(although I'd rather see the blank line stay) and fold it into that
patch or put it into the tree that Stephen pulls?
