They are built into orinoco now; hermes was never a standalone module
and was always loaded automatically by one of the orinoco sub-drivers,
but the orinoco driver went through a big restructuring recently and got
combined.

Relevant git commits:

f90d8d4789eba79b0a715e41aba4c09403088847 orinoco: hermes_dld does not need to be a module
dec59d6faffb44e741d9c19ffdf368d69a968a54 orinoco: hermes doesn't need to be a separate module
