    I 2.6.0-test2 tested on i386 with a .config that is without support for
    modules and compiles as much as possible statically into the kernel.
    Without claiming completeness, I found this way besides the complete Old
    ISDN4Linux subsystem 36 drivers that compile due to cli/sti issues only
    on UP.
