The only thing you don't have with a LKM is the autoconfig stuff. So the
layer between the LKM and the driver is a probe function. The rest of the
process is rather dynamic (it has to, for removable devices anyway).

For PCI it is easy to do with pci_find_device (see how I do it for the
NVidia stuff).

For PCMCIA and Cardbus, it might be more difficult, though scanning the
bus is always a possibility, I guess.
