Michael, not sure if this affects Petitboot (I know it has its own
default config files), but in the past we had some issues with this
driver and it's nice to have the possibility to blacklist it.

What is the rationale for this change? I mean, how being able to boot
without initrd is interesting here? Sorry if it's silly question!

Thanks,


Guilherme


P.S. If this config was *unset* and you're setting, I'd be glad to see
it as module!
