It looks like you misunderstood me. You can build a kernel in a way,
that you will have different modules for different hda-intel models,
not a single one driver. This will simplify things a lot since most
of this modules will not work on the very same hardware.

I understand, this may be a tricky way for a common user, but at this
moment I can't offer another solution.
