There were build failures I saw due to some misbalanced select/depends
issues which I fixed in:

scsi: Use 'depends' with LIBFC instead of 'select'.

which went in yesterday. I thought that would resolve all of your
problems.

Believe me, it is a tragic surprise that several defconfigs absolutely
depended upon this broken usage of select in the scsi layer, to of all
things make CONFIG_NET=y implicit.

I'll do my best to sort this out, but I hope that this short term pain
is worth it in the end.

Thanks for your understanding.
