The problem with all of these stages is fanout. No matter which
"configuration" I select (is a 4 user config ever really optimal
for *any* usage???), I need the same controllers and virtual
devices on my machine, regardless of how many vnodes I allow to
be active at one time.
The config needs to be seperated into "machine" and "usage"
portions, IMO. Maybe adding the ability to use #include (or
equivalent) is really the thing to do, instead.
