Comment (by phoudoin):
I guess packing some fast-matching metadata into each driver/device kernel
module file's attributes could be a way to go here.
Most wasted time is spent at loading module itself, executing the bit of
code each device module have to lookup for supported hardware is most
probably very small in comparison.
I don't think having some central database/config for that, the BFS kernel
modules files can provide themselves such data already, taking leverage of
BFS attributes.
