That should be possible, but currently I can't think about some *clean*
way how achieve this.

This is impossible. At these time the drivers are loaded we know
absolutely nothing about which drivers will be really used. For example:
The VBE driver under VMware detects the VBE BIOS, but fails later when
setting the video mode. If we would load only the VBE driver, now we are
lost.
