[1] the option is truly a boolean, that enables or disables a menu (not any code). But it won't work as a boolean apparently :/ Roman doesn't have any better suggestions, so oh well.

[PATCH] SCSI_SATA has to be a tristate
SCSI=m must disallow static drivers.
The problem is that all the SATA drivers depend on SCSI_SATA.
With SCSI=m and SCSI_SATA=y this allows the static enabling of the SATA drivers with unwanted effects, e.g.:
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA is built statically but scsi/built-in.o is not linked
into the kernel
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y, SCSI_SATA_AHCI=m
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA and libata are built statically but
scsi/built-in.o is not linked into the kernel, SCSI_SATA_AHCI is built modular (unresolved symbols due to missing
libata)
