Certainly, if that list is out of date, we need to do something about it.

ISTM that the list probably doesn't change fast enough that tracking it
in our SGML docs is a huge problem. I think it'd likely be good enough
to just add the missing drivers to the list in the docs. (If you do,
please back-patch that.)

+1. That *is* something likely to change faster than we can update
the SGML docs.
