It's great to see the driver be modularised since removing unneeded
drivers (for example, on powerpc and embedded platforms) can save
~200KB.

Could you add some documentation for the modules in /sys/conf/NOTES
please?  I looked through the sources and put together the patch for
8.0 which is avaiable at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dkern/133162 but it sounds
like some more drivers will need to be added for 7.2.
