I'd suggest making the non-essential drivers loadable modules though,
in particular the sensor drivers.

There are two block device drivers included here (SoC specific
front-ends for AHCI and SDHCI), I'm not sure about what to do with
them, but we should try to do it consistently, either making
them all built-in to simplify booting from them without a ramdisk,
or try to make them all modules as well.
