I had this exact same problem. I ran make oldconfig and was never prompted 
for the new HDA config options. I could be wrong, but I can't remember 
make oldconfig behaving this way in the past (or maybe it resulted in 
changes that didn't have any noticeable effect). Having to reconfigure 
the kernel over not being prompted for a new config option which changed 
established behavior was annoying to say the least.
