It does this through reuse of the standard module loader - the machine
drivers all have references to the codec and platform driver modules so
providing something can figure out how to load the only relevant machine
driver only the codec and platform drivers for that machine will be
loaded.

v2 pretty much keeps on with the same model, though codec and platform
drivers will be able to be instantiated via means other than the machine
drivers.
