So people now a days crave for documenting staging modules and also
get confused by the mixed use of driver_stg or driver? Come on.

The name changes hardly matter for auto loading staging modules and I
would be surprised if people document crap modules especially since
the stable ones are documented later if at all they end up being
documented.
