Ok. I'm not thrilled to keep around legacy code because nobody is
testing out new kernels on these devices. If we can, we should try to
delete old drivers that don't get used anymore, but if we can't then
we should be able to modify and compile those drivers and wait for the
bug reports to come in if something is broken.
