This comes up from time to time.. But I'm wondering... How could it be
simpler?  What is it that people find complicated?

Let's discuss this with a sample, so it's easier to grab

http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/browser/trunk/coreboot-v2/src/mainboard/kontron/986lcd-m/cmos.layout

The tricky part is to know which options are used in the code of a given
board, but that's not something a file system can really improve.

Any format or data structure will suffer from cut and paste frenzy ...
