Well, as a maintainer of a precompiled all-driver image, this news is 
like a breath of fresh air... ;o)

no more strigling to decide which driver exclude from my built, no more 
mail from users that uses just THAT driver that I've excluded... ;o)

If it doesn't require massive code changes, it could be a nice thing to
