Should'nt this probably be made with atleast someone from redhat to ensure that for future releases, driverdisk model could include load support from install enviroment? (that offcourse actually is syslinux today (Atleast for preboot)) but how can this be implemented the most clean way (and has someone allready implemented it?)

Typically there is a file called modules.pci or some such, built by 
depmod, which contains the mapping of PCI device IDs to modules.
