    I've been looking into listing the mii drivers to include in a given
    kernel. For the general case, we want to include them all. For
    specific cases, only a small subset are necessary. I don't think
    tying them to a specific driver is necessarily the right way to go, as
    old designs have a bad habit of reappearing in new when you least
    expect it.
