Wouldn't PCI and ISA PnP support help here?  Standard 2.0.x kernels support 
/proc/pci since a long time, so it should be possible to check the device 
names on /proc/pci against a table in order to load the apropriate modules.  
It should also be possible to deal with PnP just the same way, although I 
don't know what the status of the PnP support in the kernel is right now.
