Not quite. There were two non-driver suggestions that the man did
make: remove 386/486 support and remove floating-point emulation
support. Both are bad for the embedded-systems space, because the 486 is
still used there widely.
Are all the bus support code exclusively in drivers, or is there something
compiled into the nucleus for start-up?
