Stripping down embedded kernel -- MII PHY & ATA sub-drivers

Hello, Freebsd-embedded.

  Is it possible to build kernel with only needed MII and ATA (legacy
ATA) drivers? For example, my Sokeris net5501 has only one MII PHY (for
vrX, Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface) and only one ATA controller
(AMD CS5536 UDMA100 controller). So it doesn't need all these
sub-drivers, and it looks like a lot of objects (several megabytes).
