I think would be better to just make CONFIG_XFS depend upon > CONFIG_EXPORTFS in fs/xfs/Kconfig. Looks like we'll have the same problem with > libcrc32c. AFAIK, "select" isthe right keyword for these dependencies. They are like saying "depends on", but instead of having the XFS config options only appear in the menus if CONFIG_EXPORTFS is selected, it will select CONFIG_EXPORTFS=y when CONFIG_XFS_FS=y.... So I don't think there are any problems here...
