I'd prefer not to switch s390 to use drivers/Kconfig unless someone volunteers to clean up all included Kconfig files by adding proper 'depends on PCI' etc. flags. Otherwise too many broken options are offered. On Samstag, 7.

Yes, the reason is that some other options depend on them. We added the PCMCIA option to arch/s390/Kconfig to stop kbuild from asking about some drivers that won't work anyway. E.g. drivers/scsi/pcmcia starts with menu "PCMCIA SCSI adapter support" depends on SCSI!=3Dn && PCMCIA!=3Dn && MODULES which evaluate to true if the PCMCIA option is not known. Changing that to menu "PCMCIA SCSI adapter support" depends on SCSI && PCMCIA && MODULES solves this in a different way, but I'm not 100% sure if it still has the same meaning.
