Is it possible to build up a database of such drivers available

Sounds like a nice idea.
Is it currently possible to see which devices are in use,
by which device driver, and which devices are not?
Is it simple/possible for all kinds of devices, and busses?
I have had this on my "please implement" list for a long time. I imagine
devices having this so you can see:
Device Name Driver
pci 1234:5678 UltraDisk Pro /dev/udp0
Now, in one fell swoop, I can see every device on my machine and what
driver is associated with it. The new driver API allows this; we just need
to get it implemented.
