After thinking about it some more, I decided to drop the information into a file in the 
rootfs.  That way there is no "normal runtime" memory footprint, which would be the main 
reason to avoid the normal drivers.

The kernel side of the patch is attached for review; there is obviously also a kinit side 
which I haven't written yet (I'll try to finish the whole thing this evening.)
