It's a module anyhow or rather it is a boolean hidden behind ISO9660_FS which is tristate=m so I think its select turns into a >=m not a y. CONFIG_PCI_LABEL seems to be the actual culprit and it is a hidden boolean so there's no real choice, other than disabling DMI and ACPI which is obviously a non-starter. > Given how many things require NLS, though, we may as well explicitly make it built-in. ACK, I see you have made this change, thanks!
