Why would we not want it by default? The Dell firmware update stuff

I phrased that poorly. I meant let's *enable* it during kernel builds and build it as
a module by default.
However, I don't feel like the module should be automatically loaded without user
interaction. First off, that bugzilla ticket looks ugly and I'd hate to see that
happen again. Second, most folks probably aren't flashing their BIOS on a daily
basis. ;)
Does that make sense?
