Correct. Staging drivers can crash and there's no guarantee of quick
regression fixes (although fixes are generally quick so this isnt a
complaint), so i exclude them from boot testing.

Anyway, i've essentially moved it back to staging as far as my testing goes,
that solves the problem too.

Thanks,
