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.
Correct, the most common use case on x86 I suspect is the new baytrail
devices that people like AdamW are playing with but I'm not sure what
drivers they need/use.
