I see. I somehow assumed this would be a only a very minor part of the work
involved and only be done once (and the results commited to the tree).

In the case of indirect config buses (like isa): locators (or in general:
properties and driver flags). Maybe something like "ioport=0x370 irq=4"
(turned into a proplib dictionary by modload and passed to the module at
initialization time). For direct config buses probably only parent bus and
device are needed (if at all), if for example you want a module to only
attach to a single usb device, instead of all it would be able to support.
