If I can forward every "How come I can compile ISA SCSI device X and
it doesn't work on my UltraSPARC" email to you, I'll more than happily
start including drivers/scsi/Config.in :-)

Jeff Garzik and I just did all the necessary dep_tristate'ing for
drivers/net/Config.in and at least in my tree I include in on sparc64.

Being able to do this on every platform is certainly a goal, and for
all the PCI drivers to be portable enough to work on every platform is
the next step.  I think Jeff and I can do it for the networking
drivers, but I have no idea who would go about working on this for
the scsi stuff.
