I pulled this, but because you changed FDDI and these other newly
moved subsystems from a "config FOO" into a "menuconfig FOO", it now
prompts for those too during the first oldconfig.

As a result, I'm pretty sure people are going to lose drivers from
their build for exactly for the same reasons as the ethernet driver
issue you're trying to address in patch #9.
