I just had an idea in case what we might do in case of complex
hardware....

We already have the "command line parameter" that we can provide to the
kernel.

Maybe the best thing would be to supply the kernel a "large" _textfile_
with all the hardware the user definitely has (at such-and such
irq/dma/io); the textfile could be the output resilt from a
"userfriendly" hardware-detection tool that lists all categories of
hardwares etc. and has - generally - a large hardware database.

What do you think?
