Well, does it _work_ as a built-in? If it does, just send me a patch for
the Kconfig file.

A lot of the PCMCIA stuff (16-bit) historically _only_ works as modules,
because the old PCMCIA code depended on module unload to do a lot of the
cleanups that the regular internal eject handling didn't do. But if that
driver works for you built-in, then the Kconfig file itself is simply just
wrong.
