Hi Brian,

Couple of questions that aren't clear to me from this patch:
* why might someone want to do that?
* are there plans to also allow disabling the "sym" part of the driver

This is a non-standard way of disabling part of a driver, so it would need
to be documented somewhere, as it's not going to be discovered otherwise by
users. The disable_driver option is designed to take filesystem paths, and
there isn't a separate path for the asym and sym driver parts.
