That doesn't fix it. With that patch an 'make oldconfig' all NETPOLL stuff gone
and we end up with :

If I get that right select is needed here because all NETPOLL{_*} depends on
if NETDEVICES && if NET_ETHERNET.
Also doing
...
select NETPOLL_TRAP
select NETPOLL
select NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
...
makes the driver happy and everything compiles fine.
I think there may be a logical issue ( again if I got it right ).
We need some ethernet card to work with kgdboe right ? but we don't have any if
!NETDEVICES && !NET_ETHERNET.
So maybe some ' depends on ... && NETDEVICES!=n && NET_ETHERNET!=n ' is needed
too ?
( really sory if I said something stupid these Kconfig depends are not really
easy to figure for me )
