Basically.
I want a table that is a list of hardware components, that you
can follow like you can follow the PCI bus when you are assigning
resources to it. The difference being since these devices are
non-standard you will need to use the appropriate driver to initialize
them.
I suspect we might need to do this in linuxBIOS for the first pass, as
old kernel support seems to be important, and we already have most of
the setup code.
