But anyone who is installing -current on a low memory system these days
are going to be tweaking and building custom kernels already... why
can't they tweak this option along w/ the rest?  (look at Warner's work
to break out the PHY's)

Currently, this is a compile time only option, so changing this based
upon memory will be a bit more complicated than just adding the pseudo
code above...
