Old kernel:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7156155  160292  397972 7714419  75b673 OLDHANELE/netbsd

Old kernel, with pseudo-device drvctl:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7156795  160292  397972 7715059  75b8f3 netbsd

New kernel, drvctl extended && not optional:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7158769  160420  397972 7717161  75c129 HANELE/netbsd

What do you think?
