Subject: linux-next: boot test failure (net tree)

Hi all,

I do build and boot tests for various PowerPC servers I have access to.
Last night's test failed due to the fact that their ethernet drivers are
not longer being built.  In particular, CONFIG_TIGON3 newly depends on
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_BROADCOM which will no be selected when doing a "make
oldconfig" from a working config.  Similarly for CONFIG_IBM_VETH and (the
new) CONFIG_VENDOR_IBM.  The original config had both CONFIG_TIGON3 and
CONFIG_IBM_VETH set (to y and m resp.) and the final config had neither.

These Kconfig changes need to be revised so that "make oldconfig" from a
working config builds the same set of drivers ...
