This version causes linker trouble with

CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m
CONFIG_FB_RIVA_I2C=y

Setting CONFIG_FB_RIVA_I2C to "n" fixes the build problem.

Setting CONFIG_I2C and CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT to "y" (I used to use "m")
also fixes the build problem.

Full failing .config is attached (comments stripped, gzipped).
