For example, each driver source file could have a special section that contains the necessary infos for the card matrix. Then a script to get the info from the source files and puts it together to a html page would be enough.. This is only one example, of course.. An sql database is probably overkill. We have really static data here [after it's once generated]. Updates could then be done like once a week or even daily which comes down to just running a script that grabs the source from cvs and does its thing.. I don't know how easy this would be to create the rest of the docs but some parts of it are already automated, like the api doc creation, etc...
