Hi Warner,

why not do it the other way round? Keep them out of GENERIC, but have
loader(8) load some of the most used modules (snd_driver!) per default.

That way, people can easily disable these (without needing to
recompile).

I mean, what point is there in the whole KLD infrastructure, if we are
going to add every device into GENERIC anyway?
