... etc.
AFAIR, the above (and similar) #ifdefs were intentionally removed as they
break using root=... kernel parameters for apropriate drivers loaded as
module from initrd. In these cases there are 3 solutions:
1. Use numeric values (not convenient)
2. #if defined(CONFIG_FOO) || defined(CONFIG_FOO_MODULE)
This is ugly (main kernel depends on too many module settings).
Also, Linux (Alan too ?) hate too many unnecessary
3. Remove all #ifdefs here. (prefered as this is init code...)
Alan, please DON'T apply this patch.
