It seems like you're saying that once hardware is supported by a 
particular config option, it can never ever be split out to another 
config option, even if it makes both drivers cleaner.

A similar situation happened when the sk98lin driver was split into skge 
and sky2...I don't remember a big fuss back then.  Is it just that no 
major developers were using the hardware so they didn't notice?
