Subject: [PATCH] eeepc-laptop: Fix build failure with HOTPLUG_PCI && !SYSFS (was: [git pull request] ACPI & driver patches for 2.6.31-rc1)

FYI, there's a post-rc1 build regression with certain configs:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `pci_hp_deregister':
(.text+0xb166): undefined reference to `pci_hp_remove_module_link'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `pci_hp_deregister':
(.text+0xb19f): undefined reference to `pci_destroy_slot'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `__pci_hp_register':

drivers/built-in.o: In function `__pci_hp_register':
(.text+0xb5b1): undefined reference to `pci_hp_create_module_link'

This driver supports the Fn-Fx keys on Eee PC laptops.
We never select CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI, as it is a non-trivial,
interactive, many-child-dependencies configuration option.
The select caused partial dependencies to be instantiated by the
Kconfig language, and allowed the PCI hotplug core code to be built
without SYSFS - so drivers/pci/slot.c wasnt built but was being
relied on.
The complexity of select statements is already a warning sign that
something unusual is done here. They should be avoided generally,
except for clear-cut 'leaf' modules.
The patch below fixes the build failure by turning the select lines
into a single 'depends on' line. There's no significant reduction in
utility of the driver: it already has a list of dependencies, and
basically all distros enable hotplug-pci anyway.
