58 nothing but dead weight. Now that we have deblobbed all of L1 with the
59 exception of GPRS-specific modules, we could try building a hybrid config with
60 GPRS and FAX_AND_DATA excluded, specifically for the benefit of Mot C1xx and
61 Pirelli targets, but these legacy hardware targets are no longer a priority for
62 the FreeCalypso family of projects.
