Here's what the kernel's README file has to say about it:
"make oldconfig": Default all questions based on the contents of your 
existing ./.config file and asking about new config symbols.

I guess that 'make rndconfig' selected CONFIG_INFINIBAND=y, but didn't 
select CONFIG_INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS=y. Then, 'make oldconfig' asked you 
about new symbols. I guess that running 'make rndconfig' may create 
scenarios like this, but I don't think that there's a bug in iSER's 
Kconfig file. If you still want to use your .config file, reselect 
InfiniBand in 'make menuconfig'. It will set CONFIG_INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS=y.

I hope this helps.
