OK, that's a fair point, all drivers would need to be changed. However,
I'm not adverse to making a one-time change to all drivers in the name
of sanity. Enumerating what cards a controller doesn't support just
doesn't sound correct to me.

It wouldn't be a complicated change either, I'd even be happy to write
the patch ;-)
