Don't worry. When I am just skimming things I tend to not consider those cases, but when I am actually working it they get covered. Right now I don't think I can do any auto-generation of the ISA drivers because there is still a fair amount of potential code in the Makefile and other places that is per driver. But covering the pci and newer drivers should be straight forward. In 5.1 I have already moved the pci_ids into the driver files so auto-generating config.c would be moving in the opposite direction, and it would would make it very hard to have a multiple driver etherboot.
