Options NUMA and EFI in arch/i386/Kconfig depend on ACPI but they
appear before the ACPI option. make oldconfig with no initial setting
for CONFIG_ACPI will prompt for these options, but if you then say No
to CONFIG_ACPI the options will silently be turned off. Conversely if
you turn on CONFIG_ACPI you do not get prompted for the options that
are out of order.

That's the normal behaviour.

What exactly did you do? It works fine here.
Note that due to the "default y" the other options are visible before
ACPI.

Fair enough. I was switching between configs with ACPI=y and ACPI=n,
every time I editted .config to remove the current ACPI setting and ran
oldconfig to insert the new setting, I got prompted for these extra
options. Forward dependencies in configs, yuck.
