I don't think having that flag in configure makes a lot of sense. It
should probably just be a separate make target and not be included in
"make fate". Default fate should test our code, not external libraries
or drivers.
If someone wants to set this up on their fate box after making sure it
actually worked at least during setup, they can easily add it as a
second target to the make invocation - ie. "make fate fate-hw" or
something like that (and the fate.sh script probably most of us use
for that could be extended to take that as an option), and both get
accumulated in one result.
