I'll try to list the kinds of odd stuff that I commonly use or
definitely know be using in advance to keep it in...
(but of course I could also be building my own kernel, it being odd stuff)

- infiniband (and mellanox drivers), rdma stuff, ipoib
- solarflare nics (don't actually have one yet)
- scst (generic scsi target)
- ceph filesystem client
- dmvpn / l2tpv3

Another idea more in the spirit of AlpineLinux might be to start by
ticking off all items that are on the Carrier Grade Linux requirements
list, as these will probably apply to many users, and then look into
what else is "nice to have".
