That seems like something we can and possibly should change if we want.

This is going to be really common but I'm not sure I see a problem with
it in terms of what Raphael is proposing - could you go into more detail
on the problem you see here?

Normally the drivers we need would all be loaded based on the hardware
we have in the system, it would be very unusual to dynamically request
new resources at runtime to deal with a reconfiguration.  Doing so seems
likely to result in fragility.
