Would the esteemed sir bother to build the resulting tree with drivers
in question non-modular?

Damnit, people, try to think for a minute.  If these functions were
not called directly in non-modular case, the driver would not work
built-in.  Which is not apriori impossible, but might warrant some
further investigation.  Use of grep, for starters...

IOW, please unapply the patches in question.
