In this case it's an optional library kernel module. That seems to be a
common setup for library modules. We do the same with CONFIG_MII and
drivers/net/mii.ko as well.
Originally it was done purely in the Makefile, but that does not account
for net drivers in sub-directories (or out of tree as you point out).
