[PATCH 2/2] hook-functions: Exclude more unnecessary net drivers



Exclude drivers for:
- software devices: dummy, ifb, tun, veth.
- layered devices: macvlan, macvtap, team
- physical devices unlikely to be useful at boot: hippi/*, sb1000, xen-netback

Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

Some of the existing exclusions should perhaps be reconsidered - USB
Ethernet is depressingly common - but I think these additions are safe.

Ben.
