There is plenty of consumer hardware (e.g., mac books) that does not use

to build the related drivers as modules to avoid loading them on hardware
that does not need them. As such, these options should no longer be protected
by EXPERT.
There are systems (although, with luck, only *very* old ones) where the 
modules won't get autoloaded. You should probably mention that in the 
help text.
