Hmmm.  Interesting point about building the drivers into the kernel.  Note
that these are custom kernel drivers distributed separately from the
kernel.  I've never tried to build a custom driver as part of the kernel,
so I'll have to look into it more.

I suspect that I'll have to build a custom kernel snap for my target
platform(s) anyways since some platforms need standard drivers at boot time
that are not included with the standard kernel snap.  So, this might be a
reasonable solution.
