There's even a default SCSI 'm' that seems to be completely hidden from the menu too (CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN).

On the other hand, the select directive can also be the cause of these problems, for instance drivers/ata/Kconfig has a select SCSI at the top, so if you selected modular ATA, you'll be forced to have modular SCSI.
