Hello!

What's the preferred way to do a custom model field that has no corresponding formfield? Intuitively, I'd say raise a NotImplementedError, but that would make the whole model unusable in the admin even if that field is excluded from being displayed.

That's because excluding a field from the admin display does not mean `Field.formfield(...)` is left alone, a call into `formfield` happens during validation checks (`check_formfield` in admin/validation.py).

So, are fields without a formfield possible already? If yes, how to do it? If not, would you accept a patch that makes the `ModelAdmin.exclude` attribute validation not call into `Field.formfield`?

Cheers,
Jonas
