maks, i think the best here would be to do a per-subarch modprobing.
We can reuse the numerous cases of similar sub-arch probing, but without
checking something like this (taken from mkvmlinuz) :
# if no sub-architecture was specified, read it from /proc
if test -z "$arch"; then
case $(grep ^machine /proc/cpuinfo) in
*PReP*Blackhawk*) arch=ppcbug ;;
*PReP*) arch=prep ;;
*CHRP*) arch=chrp ;;
*Amiga*) arch=apus ;;
*)
case $(grep ^pmac-generation /proc/cpuinfo) in
*NewWorld) arch=pmac ;;
*OldWorld) arch=coff ;;
esac
;;
esac
fi
and then some :
case $arch in
prep|chrp|ppcbug)
modprobe i8042
modprobe atkbd
;;
esac
Then we can go even further, and do some pmac modele discriminating in order
to load the fan control modules and so on.
What do you think of a facility like that ?
