I don't intend to dispute either, but what I see is defferent from
yours.  My source's BUILD directory contains these .config files:

 61487 Jun 30 12:09 kernel-2.6.18-x86_64.config
 61520 Jun 30 12:09 kernel-2.6.18-x86_64-debug.config
 60896 Jun 30 12:09 kernel-2.6.18-x86_64-xen.config

Then the following command shows AUTOFS options:

find . -type f -exec grep -il AUTOFS {} \;  -exec grep -i AUTOFS {} \;
-exec echo \;

./kernel-2.6.18-x86_64.config
# CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m

./kernel-2.6.18-x86_64-xen.config
# CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m

./kernel-2.6.18-x86_64-debug.config
# CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m

In all .config files, autofs is 'not set' and autofs4 is 'm'.  With
this setup, autofs4.ko is built, not autofs.ko.
