More specifically, if these were merely alpha-specific drivers, I could
do meaningful testing as they would attempt to be detected this way.
But this is system-specific initialization executed conditionally on
the system type, so as the systems I have are not the ones affected by
these patches, if I were to attempt a runtime test I would merely
discover that the code was not executed.
