Keeping kernel-wedge happy (not complaining about missing modules)
requires making more (all in fact) NIC modules options, like the below.

Does this make sense? I don't know what most of these are.

I don't know if any of the platforms which are supported by armmp have
any of these or if any have e.g. a PCI slot which might make them an
option. If any do have a PCI slot then I'd expect them to also have an
onboard NIC, which is the minimum we would need to support for D-I
purposes.

Is a blanket "all NICs are optional" a good rule?

Ian.
