Stop including out-of-tree kernel modules
This presents some practical problems: - We'll almost certainly fail shim review and therefore won't be able to have secure boot - Pre-installing these modules taints our kernel, which will be problematic for engagement with upstream - These modules can be fragile (see for example https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/work_items/618) - Including these modules broadens the attack surface, worsening security. As nice as it is to have an "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to hardware support via these out-of-tree kernel modules, I think the drawbacks to the project as a whole and all of its users outweigh the benefits to the specific people who benefit here. Fixes #618
