I may be missing something.  I don't quite follow the benefit of the new
'DEFAULTS' file.  I'm also curious why we don't explicitly 'include'
DEFAULTS in GENERIC vs. the new automagic include feature.

I wonder if someone might trip over this not realizing everything that
winds up in their config file.  I for one have been using io.ko and
mem.ko after coping GENERIC to FOO and removing the 'io' and 'mem'
devices.
