Yes, but Kconfig isn't about lifetimes or, in fact, much of the way the
code is constructed; it's about how the user selects particular
features.
In the current setup, they have to know to say Y/M to the ISCSI
attribute question even to see the config option for the iscsi
initiator. This is a bit counter intuitive (and definitely isn't the
way any of the other drivers that depend on transport classes are
presented).
