Agreed. Someone could want to look at the data about the pci devices _before_ the module is compiled, without needing to compile the module or parsing C code.
I'm not sure if it will be worth, but it would be possible, for example, to have a tool that says what modules you'll need to compile, just looking at your hardware, at config time.
Just my 2 cents,
