RFC: kconfig select warnings bogus?

[Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>]

We see a lot of these lately:
  GEN     /home/bor/build/linux-2.6.22/Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/i386/Kconfig
drivers/macintosh/Kconfig:116:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'PMAC_APM_EMU' refers to undefined symbol 'SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION'
drivers/net/Kconfig:2283:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'UCC_GETH' refers to undefined symbol 'UCC_FAST'
drivers/input/keyboard/Kconfig:170:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'KEYBOARD_ATARI' refers to undefined symbol 'ATARI_KBD_CORE'
drivers/input/mouse/Kconfig:182:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'MOUSE_ATARI' refers to undefined symbol 'ATARI_KBD_CORE'


Do this warning really add any value or should we just ignore them like this?
