Hmm. Let's see how this all works out, but I already found an annoyance.

It first asks me about the new PCI power sequencing driver.

And then it asks me separately if I want the power sequencing support.

Now, either this should

 (a) not ask about the generic power sequencing support at all, and
just select if if a driver that is enabled needs it

OR

 (b) it should ask about power sequencing support and then if you say
"N", it should not ask about the drivers.

But asking *twice* is definitely not kosher.
