ZFS depends on EFI_PARTITION, ZLIB_DEFLATE and ZLIB_INFLATE, but when
ZFS is integrated with the kernel source tree, menuconfig does not
enforce these dependencies. This can cause build failures in the case of
ZLIB_DEFLATE and ZLIB_INFLATE where symbols are not found. This can also
cause runtime failures in the case of EFI_PARTITION, where the kernel
will not understand GPT partitions when creating pools from raw disks.
We solve this by making menuconfig aware of these dependencies.
