I phrased that poorly.  I meant let's *enable* it during kernel builds and build it as a module by default.

However, I don't feel like the module should be automatically loaded without user interaction.  First off, that bugzilla ticket looks ugly and I'd hate to see that happen again.  Second, most folks probably aren't flashing their BIOS on a daily basis. ;)

Does that make sense?
