.. or we could just bite the bullet and split GENERIC into GENERIC
(which would have modules for everything) and GENERIC_NOMODULES.

Then just populate a default module list that goes into /boot/loader.conf.

If you're even more evil, you could populate a module list that goes
into /boot/<kernel>/module.conf.default, and then allow that to be
overridden.

Point is - a modular kernel works, right now. What we're missing is a
way to load them at boot time by the bootloader. Well, enough of them
to bring up the system so the rest can be autoloaded as needed.

_That_ whole mess would be a great GSoC project.
