    anything pointed to by msg_name.  From Ani Sinha.

 2) Fix some bnx2i/bnx2fc randconfig compilation errors.

    The gist of the issue is that we firstly have drivers that span both
    SCSI and networking.  And at the top of that chain of dependencies
    we have things like SCSI_FC_ATTRS and SCSI_NETLINK which are
    selected.

    But since select is a sledgehammer and ignores dependencies,
    everything to select's SCSI_FC_ATTRS and/or SCSI_NETLINK has to also
    explicitly select their dependencies and so on and so forth.

    Generally speaking 'select' is supposed to only be used for child
    nodes, those which have no dependencies of their own.  And this
    whole chain of dependencies in the scsi layer violates that rather
