My question is:
- Will the kernel take care of inserting this PCI Driver and mapping
the device? Or else do we need to build some evaluator for this?
The PCI driver is currently incomplete. It does not correctly enable PCI option roms yet. This means the evaluator is already there and it works (with some bugs probably, since it has not been extensively tested) But you do _not_ need to write an evaluator yourself.
If you get the latest OpenBIOS snapshot from http://www.openbios.org/snapshots/ you can have a look at the code in openbios/drivers/pci.[c|h|fs] for the PCI driver and openbios/forth/device/feval.fs for the FCode evaluator (byte-load)
