4.0 will have a complete PnP system, including automagic detection
and configuration, support for pnpbios (and probably acpi). The code is in
-current now and being tested. By the time 4.0 ships we should have enough
drivers so that you can have a kernel config with *no* custom settings at
all and it will detect all your hardware magically.
