That's why I was wondering about the fuss, but your other point:

seems certainly valid.

The kernel does have the zorro list (although it doesn't parse
it early enough for BAT setup). Let me rephrase: all NetBSD/Amiga boot
loaders are required to pass a cooked AutoConfig list to the kernel.

A quick search of the list could be done; it is unlikely to be longer
than, say, 8 entries for real cards. Some cards might have more than
one Zorro card on them, and cpu cards define some, but the number is
small enough to search in a loop.
