Not in this one case.   Here we want explicitly to review the code,
not the move.   The point is to put the whole driver code in front
of people as part of the proposal to move it out of staging.  If we
leave move detection on then there is a barrier to review as only
someone who has actually applied all the patches will be able to
see what state the driver is in.

Sure, side effect is we loose the check on whether it is a 'pure'
move or not, but that is easy to check when I finally apply the patches.

I haven't come up with a better way of reviewing a staging driver
on the mailing lists in a fashion similar to how we would review
a newly submitted driver.
