There's already a completely different fix queued in netdev patchworks
(for myri10ge only right now, to be duplicated for Intel drivers). The
idea is to stop having almost-unrelated drivers select each other
directly, let people select which drivers they really want, and have
Kconfig handle modules/builtin-stuff correctly. See
