Hmm. CONFIG_BROKEN is not easily selectable anymore, so it's unlikely
that many people will even know about it. What's the correct way to
make a driver be built but not installed by default? I can use:

default m if ARCH_GEMINI
default n

But that will make it get installed on x86 allmodconfig even if it
won't ever work there - so will pollute modules for other arches
unless distribution managers remember that not every driver built
needs to be included.
