James,
maybe you want to take it since it's for drivers/scsi/pcmcia/Kconfig.

Subject: [PATCH] PCMCIA: Allow PCMCIA SCSI drivers to be built into the kernel.
Remove the Kconfig requirement that the PCMCIA SCSI drivers be built
only as modules, and allow them to be built into the kernel.
Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

i imagine there's a historical reason for these drivers being forced
to be built only as modules. and i'm not sure whether i should have
CCed the SCSI folks, the PCMCIA folks, or both. or whatever.
compile-tested on x86 with "make allyesconfig".
