Sadly, these do need to be standard to actually load the drivers. The
reason they are all marked standard is because it is hard to get the
inter-module loading issues if they aren't. The problem is best
illustrated by pccard. pccard provides interfaces to cbb to call, as
well as calls cbb interfaces. Using a module depends makes it so you
can't unload either of the modules...
