This doesn't seem like a good idea (and I'd like to revert).  They are modules
after all.  If the only reason is that you don't want them imported
automatically, then don't have the generator script put them in module-list.nix
(just filter out the whole modules/hardware directory).

But more fundamentally, shouldn't these modules behave like all other modules?
That is, that whether they're enabled or disabled is controlled by a config option?
