This looks to be very specific to scsi. What I was hinting at was the possible
need for a *generic* mechanism to include local dependencies on params, so you
can take some #define in an arbitrary codepoint in the kernel, and if its not
already exposed in the config process, add it in. One place, to do it all.

Thats what I think a mod to files.i386 to #include files.local achieves, and
thats what I did. I now get a CVS "M" message on files.i386 and it looks to be
able to merge my local diff in fine.

cheers
