My plan is to leave this to the HW detection system (discover), and
make sure it detect and loads the correct modules at boot time.
When it comes to USB devices, I guess hotplug is a must as well, to
make sure the required USB modules are loaded when the devices are
inserted as well.

The detection order is as far as I know, the order on the PCI bus, and
this do not change without moving cards in the PC.
