I once sent a patch to make libata a submenu of scsi.

[PATCH] libata Kconfig: Allow libata to be selected from within the SCSI submenu
From: Al Boldi <a1426z@gawab.com>
To: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org
CC: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

Move libata Kconfig sourcing from the drivers Kconfig into the SCSI Kconfig.

This allows the user to quickly select additional disk/tape/cdrom support 
from within the same menu.
