While I questioned whether doing this (for a slim boot time benefit
this might provide) is really the right thing already in the past, bug
766284 points out another reason why this is a bad idea. Can this
be reverted (in master and 12.2 at least)?
The change below for ata_piix (and other related changes in April 2009) was
made without a bugzilla or fate reference. Whats the practical benefit of
having the drivers built into the kernel? At least ata_piix should be a module
because it also drives emulated hardware (not only in a Xen HVM guest).
