Ok, some things that we're disabling in the experimental olpc-2.6 tree;

There's a userspace NFSD if necessary; I see no need for this.

As mentioned in #503, CONFIG_PCI_GOANY and CONFIG_PCI_GOBIOS have been
dropped (and will be readded if it turns out qemu explodes spectacularly).

Everything else will remain for the time being.
