this is exactly why I compile custom kernels for each machine, and only include drivers for hardware that exists (or has a high liklyhood of being added)

the one (partial) exception is my laptop, which is relativly slow anyway :-( but is mroe likly to have new hardware plugged into it in the form of pcmcia cards or strange USB devices.
