Heads up! Implement universal device attachment and autoconfiguration machinery.
This is somewhat similar to traditional BSD autoconf but much more simple.
Three basic data structures involved in autoconfiguration process are:
struct device, which represents abstract device and its private (driver softc) data;
struct driver, which holds {attach,match,detach} entries, name and softc size;
struct attachment, which tells us how drivers are interacted with each other.
Attachment basically describes how to attach devices in system.
Machine specified part should export arrays config_table[] and *drivers[] for config.

This might have broken i386 & gba tree, but there is only a question of time.
