Why are they being put in extras where they were formerly for ARM in
the main kernel package? This is functionality for some devices we
depend on for things like virtual serial console and usb gadget
network and in most cases ARM devices will have one of these ports so
they're pretty much standard hardware on ARM.
I thought they're not very commonly used, apparently I was wrong.
They're definitely not very commonly used on x86 (I don't think there
even exists a commonly used UDC there, our kernel does not currently
ship a driver for any), but there does not seem to be a way to put them
into extras package for a single platform. Maybe that would not be a
good idea anyway.
I'll follow up with a patch without the move into the extra package.
