I'm OK with that.  I only tested with the intel driver to be quite
honest: I did come up with a list of symbols required by all the open
source drivers, but given my complete lack of other hardware, I
haven't tried running them.

Even so, that should be fine, and it's fairly trivial to restore any
missing symbols if we hear of any.

Cheers,
Daniel
