Is this really *the* solution? I wonder if we can do whatever you're
trying to do in a better way? To let final users try both drivers
without recompiling kernel?

The description also isn't saying too much. I can't imagine anyone
taking decision advisedly other than "n, as it's the default". On
other hand, what should we put here? The whole comparison of drivers?
Can be hard, but I really think there should be more info.
