I haven't got your answer, but this quote might help you refine your Googling:
Windows 7 also includes Dynamic Driver Provisioning, where device drivers are
stored independent of the deployed image and can be injected dynamically based on
the Plug and Play ID of the hardware, or as predetermined sets based on information
contained in the basic input/output system (BIOS). Reducing the number of drivers
on individual machines reduces the number of potential conflicts, ultimately minimizing
setup time and improving the reliability of the computer.
