This needs to be fixed some way.

The kernel config is asking about ridiculous things that no sane user
can know the answer to. And that change has made it worse.

Asking a user for random media drivers by chip ID is *NOT* ok. It
needs to be hidden some way. If the old way didn't work, some new way
needs to happen.

Guys, the kernel config phase is already *the* most annoying thing for
people trying to build their own kernel. Don't make it worse by asking
questions that make no sense to a normal user.
