Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the bkl-config tree with the tty tree

Hi Arnd,

Today's linux-next merge of the bkl-config tree got a conflict in
drivers/staging/Kconfig between commits
4a6514e6d096716fb7bedf238efaaca877e2a7e8 ("tty: move obsolete and broken
tty drivers to drivers/staging/tty/") and
4c37705877e74c02c968735c2eee0f84914cf557 ("tty: move obsolete and broken
generic_serial drivers to drivers/staging/generic_serial/") from the tty
tree and commit a3ba01b63468c925518da2da0ac3be11358f60cb ("BKL: move
CONFIG_BKL to staging") from the bkl-config tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary.

+ 	  or they will be removed in 2.6.39.
