Hi Danny,

Apologies for dropping the ball!

I think <installer> is too vague and it sounds like it=E2=80=99s basically a
procedure, which it=E2=80=99s not.  <soc> would be fine IMO, or <system-on-=
chip>
if we want.

I think we need a table to look things up by name anyway, but we may
also need a record type: I suppose we=E2=80=99d want to describe things in =
that
record.

For the lookup table itself, see for example =E2=80=98file-system-type-modu=
les=E2=80=99
in (gnu system linux-initrd).

Sounds like the right place, yes.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
