I would be nice to have an option for GenKernel that would create a minimal kernel required for Gentoo (ie. has Devfs support, etc).  I envision that you would do something like

genkernel --config --minimal

The resultant menu would show the configuration of what would be reqiuired, then the user could toggle the few extra items they would like.

not really possible, it would require knowing pci ids for your hardware
and what kernel options matched against what modules were required, etc
it's just never really going to happen
