Fair enough, but that's only an issue for vendor trees.  None of this
code will be going into mainline.  Any of it that does get into good
shape should probably go under drivers/misc, and have the drivers
select only the pieces that are needed (with finer-grain CONFIG_
items).  A blanked CONFIG_XILINX_EDK for random stuff is not a good
idea.
