I fear that will not be possible in general: in -CURRENT the
design is based on a procedural interface, whereby code can
probe and configure the hardware as part of returning the
requested parameters.  This can not (in general) be translated
into tables.  I think the effort might as well be put in
MFC'ing the configuration mechanism and/or the entire driver.
Once the differences are minimized, regular MFC's are possible
again.
