How you accomplish 0.0 depends on what sort of device you're building.

A USB device is discovered in a particular way which is defined by the USB standard. Ditto for 1394, SCSI, IDE, PCI, ISA, serial, etc...

You won't be able to build a USB device which gets discovered by transitioning an interrupt line (since there are no interrupt lines on USB)

>But remember a driver is not loaded into the kernel unless the hardware is detected.

Can we write above in these steps:

1.0 ) Kernel detects hardware
2.0 ) Load driver

And can we break a part first step:

0.0 ) Hardware should tell the system about its presence [like:A single transition from low-to-high OR high-to-low OR complete handshaking ].
1.0 ) Kernel detects hardware
2.0 ) Load driver
.
