Thats more complex than it needs to be. Easy solution is to allways
compile in full set from semiconductor vendor and then maybe only use
subset.

'Changing kernel is hard, lets do it from initscripts' is perverse
reason for overdesign... (And btw it should be kernel doing the
hardware abstraction, you are turning things upside down).
