Not sure how this solves the original problem. PCI should never be mandatory (it is actually super useful to be able to build a very small kernel without too many drivers), and there shouldn't be configurations where the kernel doesn't build. It is also my own responsibility to merge these things, and I'd rather not delegate this, specially as it touches a bunch of other subsystems. Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
