That's exactly what I have done.

But what you think about implementing this functionality in
the administrator's space (rather than developer's area)?

IMHO it would be very covenient to have an ability of driver bindings.
For example for pci:

	device* at pci? dev? function? vid 0x0000 did 0x0000

or (if we want a backward compatibility)

	bind device at pci vendorid 0x0000 deviceid 0x0000
	device* at pci? dev? function?

In general, my proposition is add ability of altering foodevs files
inside kernel config.
