running MODULES=most and delivering the union of the two sets?

We could do, but I think it's a useful feature that MODULES=most is
hardware-independent and I don't want to change that.

I've gradually been moving the behaviour of MODULES=most toward
including entire classes of drivers and I'd prefer to handle this the
same way.
