The only issue really is what format to use for serialization. I'm leaning towards s-expressions for use with openbios. However, it's conceivable that different serialzation methods could be provided for different payloads, though probably not desirable.
Please note this problem has to pieces. Which information should we represent and how should we represent it.
Devices on a motherboard are not necessarily connect as a tree. I have never seen a tree structured schematic :) So the actual layout of the data is to some extent secondary to the data structures we will use to represent that data.
So we need to drill down on that part as to how we represent logical devices and how we represent the logical connections between them.
