Typical, I've found the files I was looking for after I make the post.

In my world, this XML file would be a replacement for many of the files
in src/sys/conf/.  Or, at the very least, those files would be generated
from this XML file.  As a developer, if you don't update the file the 
system won't even know about your driver (or option).
