It might be my failed understanding, but the requested patch for this, was to move the
ON/OFF of EDAC into the 'drivers' submenu directly (instead of down in the EDAC submenu),
to allow for faster disabling/enabling of EDAC in menuconfig.
But all the modules are still tri-state configured.
If I am missing something here, please give me some needed instruction. From what I understand
your comment, the code is can still be configured in modules.
thanks
