You can currently only get away living without it if you are just
using iwl3945 or iwl4965 as they provide their own rate control
algorithms. In the future if other vendor drivers are added with their
own rate control algorithm this list grows. Disabling PID will save
you some space only on some embedded platforms. Although currently its
not evident people would do this I do see this being a reasonable
option to keep around for later.
