Thanks for pointing out the problem!

This certainly fixes the problem, but it's a bit confusing; if you
answer "y" instead of "m" to the question, it will force the crypto
mechanisms to be built-in, and that's not necessarily obvious.  That
being said, I suspect the people who will care the most about this
will be people building the distro kernels, and it will hopefully be
obvious to them.

In any case, I can't find a better way of doing this, so thanks,
applied.  I'll get this  pushed to Linus ASAP.
