kernel-package is still 9.008.4 last i checked, i am not sure Manoj did upload
the 10.00x version finally to unstable or not. I have not heard from Manoj
since some time.

Ok, you can add the needed modules by hand to Default.cfg for yaird, but i
guess there are at least two solutions :
1) enhance yaird to know about how to detect some non-sysfs modules, like
the sbus ones, or ...
2) make the sbus stuff sysfs aware.
The second solution would be preferable i think.
