I copy in the g5_defconfig and then do my "make oldconfig". which
eventually prompts with:
Macintosh device drivers (MACINTOSH_DRIVERS) [N/y] (NEW)

But I see what got me.. The g5_defconfig hasnt been updated since
before the MACINTOSH_DRIVERS option was added back in April; so I have
no old setting to carry over into the new.

Unless someone beats me to it, I'll spin up a new g5_defconfig via the
ppc-dev list shortly. :-)
