No, I haven't.  I would tend to look at the git log to find out why
those were added (no mention would suggest accident), but the git log
is rather troublesome for the config files.

I'll try to take a look, but right now I'm spending time testing the
split of kernel source and kernel build.  OpenWRT appears to have quite a
number of issues there.

If enabling those as modules helps then something is very wrong.
