--- Comment #1 from Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> ---
The man page says:

--------
SYNOPSIS
     The driver will auto-load without any user interaction using devmatch(8)
     if enabled in rc.conf(5).

     Only if auto-loading is explicitly disabled, place the following lines in
     rc.conf(5) to manually load the driver as a module at boot time:

           kld_list="${kld_list} if_iwlwifi"

     The driver should automatically load any iwlwififw(4) firmware needed for
     the particular chipset.  See section FILES below for how to install the
     firmware.

     It is discouraged to load the driver from loader(8).
-------

Do we really need to put them on module_blacklist like we do for drm?
