Fairly little. There's a few non-pci video cards, but they do not need
to be probed for - there's no accelaration support worth speaking of
for any of them, so if no PCI video card is found but /dev/fb0 is
found, just use fbdev. There's non-pci sound on a lot of macs, but
there is a single kernel driver for all of those. Etc.
Basically, if it isn't PCI, either it Just Works (tm), or Just Won't
Work (tm).
