An option (possibly not a good option) might be to borrow the bits of the
smart-serial driver that create HAL pins.

(This code is already re-used by the absolute encoder driver)

https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/sserial.c#L1167

Here is where it is used by the absolute encoder parser:
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/abs_encoder.c#L235

I suspect that forcing this to fit might be too limiting, though.

I took a completely different route with mesa_modbus, having realised that
the configuration hardly ever changes, I went for an approach that parses
the data into a compiled module.

This was at least partly because realtime modules don't generally have
access to the file system whilst loading.
