By static I mean items that are initialized at driver initialization time and 
not modified afterwards. I don't think we should support adding/removing items 
at runtime, at least in the first version.

Item types should be defined in a kernel header and documented. If a driver 
needs a new item types, the driver developer should add the new type to the 
header and document it.
