kernel-module-pxa27x_udc: task-base-usbgadget-rrecommends
kernel-module-pcmcia: task-base-pcmcia-rrecommends

Compile in evdev, mmc_block, i2c-pxa and af_key and be done with it?

kernel modules could rrecommend evdev if it was
compiled as a module, same goes for mmc_block
(let pxamci and asic3_mmc rrecommend it) and i2c-pxa.

kernel-module-pcmcia: task-base-pcmcia-rrecommends
