Very, very strange:

Why did oldconfig switch off CONFIG_MODE_SKAS?  It didn't do that before.  
Hmmm...  Rummage, rummage...  Darn it, it's position dependent.  _And_ 
version dependent.

Ok, now I have to put the new entries at the _beginning_.  Appending them 
doesn't work anymore, it now ignores any symbol it's already seen, so you 
can't easily start with allnoconfig, switch on just what you want, and expect 
oldconfig to do anything intelligent.

That kinda sucks.  Oh well, I can have sed rip out the old symbols before I 
append the new ones.  Here's hoping it's not _that_ position dependent...
