--- Comment #1 from Allan Jude <allanjude at FreeBSD.org> ---
The loader.conf variables are not read by the kernel, but by the loader
scripting language, and used to load modules.

You can disable some hardware using the device.hints file, but that won't
disable the code in the kernel, just keep it from attaching to the hardware.

There is a version of the kernel, called MINIMAL, that moves as much as
possible out of GENERIC, and uses the 'devmatch' tool to load the drivers for
all of the hardware that is detected on your system.

With some more polish, this could replace GENERIC and achieve your goal.
