My guess is you're missing BLOCK. If BLOCK is not set see you'll see
       SCSI device support  ----

in the Device Drivers page of "make menuconfig". And if BLOCK is set
you'll see
       SCSI device support  --->

(Yes, the difference is rather subtle.) Then you should see a non-empty
page if you select that:
    [ ] RAID Transport Class (NEW)
    [ ] SCSI device support (NEW) 

(And, yes, there are two entries labeled "SCSI device support".) You can
(probably) set BLOCK in the main menu under
    [ ] Enable the block layer  ----

Hope this helps,
