Thanks for the suggestion.  One of the issues of making it modular is that
craye1k has a dependency on IPMI.  So craye1k could get loaded first and
create the /sys/bus/pci/slots/<slot>/attention files, but none of those files
would be usable until IPMI loads.  If you force it to be built-in, then you
pretty much guarantee that if the 'attention' file exist, it's usable.
