Aha!  That explains it. I won't use it.

OK, thanks for the information.

I made a local branch, and made a few changes for my board in
arch/arm/mach-at91, and in drivers/serial.
So I don't know what I could have done that I would have lost that option
doing make xconfig.

I will look at it on Monday and hopefully I will find what I've done wrong.

I'm new to git for these kinds of things, so after the initial git clone and
creating the branch, I'm pretty sketchy on the commands to use to refresh
things because of the branch.

Is there some documentation on how rt2x00 decides to pull down kernel
versions?  I see kernel.org is now on 2.6.30-rc4.  Do you keep the rt2x00
repository in close sync with the kernel.org releases?

Thanks for your help.
