These are drivers for the bridges, not for cards you plug into the bridges.  
If you autoloaded them at all you would load them during boot when you saw an 
appropriate PCI device.  Currently we don't autoload any PCI drivers, so I 
don't think that should be a blocker for taking these out of GENERIC.

Warner is probably the best person to ask.
