kernel driver removals

Keep in mind; at the moment, developers are our target audience.  We're
trying to find a nice balance between what people will actually find
useful while working on OLPC systems (between BTest-1 and BTest-2), and
how long developers will have to wait for a kernel build to finish
building all the various drivers.

If people waste more time having to enable kernel options, build a
special kernel, and then copy it over to each new image they download,
then we have been too stingy w/ the config options.  OTOH, if we're
wasting 5 extra minutes per build building 100 different netfilter
modules that people are not actually using, then we're being too lax
(and I say that as someone who has spent a fair bit of time waiting for
kernels to finish building :)

The fact that Chris uses PPPoE at home tells me that PPP a bad candidate
 for removal.
