Thanks for pointing that out.  Yes, that should be depends on IMO.
What is happening is that selecting AC97_BUS doesn't do anything
useful since CONFIG_SOUND is not enabled.  Also, IMO we don't
want to select SOUND since it is a non-trivial subsystem and
should be enabled by user(s), not via select.

And changing this will probably fix the SEGV in kconfig...
