Slightly delayed while USB NDIS was sorted out, I will be moving ahead with 
disabling the build of all IFF_NEEDSGIANT drivers in HEAD later today.

And this date is probably going to remain about the same.

Anyone who is interested is welcome to step in and update/fix drivers on the 
removal path at any time, and drivers can also be restored later easily if 
drivers are updated outside the tree as well.

Thanks,
