I can see that some of these might be used, like SDMA, XLB, and CDM.   
However, others like RTC should really be done via a single driver.   
Additionally, I'd have to see code use GPIO, SDRAM, GPT, etc before I  
think we should have them defined here.  I'd rather we add these  
items as they are used rather than having them here wholesale.
