.. after tinkering in the USB world, i wonder what's wrong with this:

* created a basic markup / description language to encapsulate what PCI/USB
probing requires;
* generated both config files _and_ .c / .h files for drivers to include;
* have the kernel build process do .device_description -> .c/.h (for
compiling) ; devd.conf (for runtime loading); an elf section if you'd like;
and loader-mumble.conf (for loader autoloading.)
