Good question. With pci-automod the file hardware.lst (used by
systemconfigurator) is generated by pci-automod itself. This means that you
don't need that your hw module must be present in any database (like
discover-data), but all the required info are in the kernel.

But if you have the hw driver statically built into the kernel, probably the
module info are not available by the sysfs interface... this would confirm that,
as usual, the good approach to have a better compatibility is to use UYOK.

OTOH if you want performance you can choose the default BOEL kernel...
