I suppose we don't really want this level of coupling between udev and
the kernel.  So I'm happy to recommend your recipe to Marco, but with a
restriction to PCI drivers:

find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/video -type f | {
	while read mod; do
		/sbin/modinfo $mod | grep -q '^alias: *pci' \
		&& echo blacklist $(basename $mod .ko)
	done
}
