This solves the first build failure but there's still a second build
failure:

drivers/net/cnic.c: In function âinit_bnx2_cnicâ:
drivers/net/cnic.c:2520: error: implicit declaration of function â__symbol_getâ
drivers/net/cnic.c:2520: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
make[1]: *** [drivers/net/cnic.o] Error 1
make: *** [drivers/net/cnic.o] Error 2

This too triggers with the config i sent. The patch below solves it
- but i havent done more testing.
