I've noticed that some of the older cam drivers are about all that is
in the way of making CAM truly loadable. By that I mean having a
kernel with all supported devices that aren't loadable forces CAM to
be in the kernel because some of the SCSI devices aren't (yet)
loadable. However, that's relatively easy to fix.
