that driver is still really experimental, and given there's already
more wierdo bugs that I can't make head nor tail of in bugzilla,
adding something that potentially introduces instability isn't a good idea.

not without adding complexity to the startup scripts to pick the right driver.
By having them non-modular the right one gets picked automatically as
the kernel tries the init routine for each.
