All drivers not in the boot or install paths should be omitted, but
only if it's possible to end up with a GENERIC without their
omission after the install is complete.

This is actually a pretty thorny problem, since sound drivers
could be argued to be in the installation path at some point,
if one support interfaces for the blind (a putative pin-reader
driver that allowed the pins to follow a region surrounding the
mouse pointer  would also fall into the same category).
