Look at the Virtutech Simics emulator. (It's closed source product but free
for academic use). Their config file allows to "construct" a whole machine
from the "processor", "bus", PCI devices e.t.c. components.

script file to crate a Pentium machine with 440BX chipset:
===========
if not defined freq_mhz {$freq_mhz = 20}
if not defined cpi {$cpi = 1}
if not defined disk_size {$disk_size = 20496236544}
if not defined disk_image {}
if not defined rtc_time {$rtc_time = "2002-09-18 10:00:00 UTC"}
if not defined num_cpus {$num_cpus = 1}
if not defined memory_megs {$memory_megs = 256}
if not defined cpu_class {$cpu_class = "pentium-4"}
if not defined text_console {$text_console = "no"}
if not defined use_acpi {$use_acpi = TRUE}
