Oh I hit send too quickly.

The tl;dr there was that the /theory/ being you should be able to build a
driver that'll load into a kernel without needing all of the non-global
opt_xxx options lying around. The ABI for a given release is supposed to be
the ABI.

Anyway, I'm a fan of (2) for cleanliness. I'd rather we found a way to
structure things to NOT change ABI based on what's in opt_xxx config
options.
