Add CONFIG_BROKEN (default 'n') to hide known-broken drivers.
Thanks. That was unkind of someone. How's this?

Linus added it in 2003, it later was removed. Put it back.
Was removed by:

Instead of asking for "broken drivers", ask for a "clean compile".
This makes "allyesconfig" do a better job.
Which was then later removed by:

[PATCH] don't allow users to set CONFIG_BROKEN=y
Do not allow people to create configurations with CONFIG_BROKEN=y.
The sole reason for CONFIG_BROKEN=y would be if you are working on
fixing a
broken driver, but in this case editing the Kconfig file is trivial.
Never ever should a user enable CONFIG_BROKEN.
