I've been trying to figure out exactly what you mean with this change. I've decided you mean this is a line you need to remove in order to build a kernel with wd. Correct? That might work, but I think it's a bit of a kludge. Why not just change the name of the driver to owd?

A warning from config(8) would serve a similar purpose.
