Fine. You can introduce the notion of flags.
For example `-p' for pattern:

uc> disable i915drmkms*		# std. starred device
uc> disable -p *drm*		# disable using pattern

You can also add, let's say, a `-g' group flag:

uc> list -g			# list all "groups"
uc> list -g drmkms		# list devices in group drmkms
uc> disable -g drmkms		# disable group drmkms
