Ok, let's start by eliminating devices that won't ever actually  
appear in an amd64 system, then:

    acardide
    aceride
    cypide
    optiide
    siside
    slide

"artsata" is probably a good candidate for removal, as well -- I have  
never seen generally-available PCI add-in boards that have that chip  
on it, and I doubt anyone ever will (Intel markets it for use in  
embedded systems; even their PC chipsets use a different SATA  
controller).

You could probably also eliminate:

    en (ENI / Adaptec ATM)
    esh (Essential HIPPI)
    lmc (LAN Media HSSI)
    ntwoc (Riscom/N2 sync serial)

Probably could also eliminate "ppp" -- do we REALLY support  
downloading install sets via ppp link in the installer?
