A devices needs to be listed in the config.lb if it requires more setup than standard PCI initialization (resource allocation). Usually that means the CPU, northbridge, southbridge, and SIO. Those devices are usually needed to indicate the system bus structure(pci_domain) as well as do any system specific initialization on those devices.
During the LinuxBIOS PCI/system scan process, if a device in config.lb is found, the functions to do customized initialization are called via the device_operations and the chip_operations structs.
Can you add that explanation to the wiki?
