Yah, I went through a phase of trying to trim as much excess bloat as
possible out of the kernel after seeing how much bigger the recent
-current snapshot was. (Ok, so it's only a matter of a few bytes, but I
was "in the mood" ;-).

Generic kernels will still print "not configured" if devices are not
present, but if someone leaves out support for a device in a kernel of
there own, it doesn't make much sense telling them they left it out IMO.
