This seems to be a damn hard problem. For example I can't think of any reasonable release candidate process that would have prevented that guy's sound problem with the Thinkpad and the docking station. Without comprehensive hardware documentation, as long as there are more different types of hardware then there are people who can hack drivers, I think this will be an issue.
