I am sure it causes a rescan, because activating
CONFIG_NETFILTER for example makes some options available that are
defined before NETFILTER, such as IP_ROUTE_FWMARK, IP_VS,
NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CONNMARK and NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NOTRACK, and
activating NETFILTER _will_ cause a rescan with `make oldconfig` - I
just tried. (Things are a little different with menuconfig/xconfig and
such of course)
