FWIW I suggested this. currently if the user wants to have
dynamically installed drivers, they have to define
CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_DRIVERS to be greater than the
number of statically configured device drivers.

This would make a logical distinction between the number
of static and dynamic drivers.

I might also be prone to obsolete CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_DRIVERS.
Add code to give the user an error with instructions.
