My initial thought a few days ago was that we could put everything that
ought to be portable (i.e. is uses a PCI bus as isn't horriably badly
written) in there and if it doesn't work on a specific platform, we put
an appropratly commented "nodevice" entry in that file.  Now I think
that isn't a complete solution since we've got a fair number of 32-bit
only device drivers, but I suppose we could deal with a shared list of
drivers broken in a particular way.  Too much of that starts to get
hackish though.  Perhaps config needs to know a bit more the
architectures.
