Actually, I didn't find config symbols that are tristate and have a separate
prompt. However, the following tristate symbols were not recognized by the
original expression because they are defined with two spaces between
"tristate" and the prompt string (sigh):
	IP6_NF_RAW
	IP_NF_RAW
	NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_COMMENT
	NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNBYTES
	NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNMARK
	NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_REALM
	NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SCTP
	NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STRING
	NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CONNMARK
	NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER
	NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NOTRACK
	NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TRACE
	NF_CT_NETLINK_TIMEOUT
	USB_EHCI_HCD_AT91
	USB_EHCI_HCD_ORION

So they were not added to %prompts and now they are.

None, it turns out. Because it is the case that none of the above symbols are
selected by other symbols; the second condition in
	    if (!defined($prompts{$config}) && defined($selects{$config})) {
		$process_selects{$config} = 1;
	    }
is always false for these symbols.

I've updated the patch subject and log accordingly.
