missing firewire part in defaults/loader.conf

Hi.

[background]
Today I noticed my motherboard has embedded firewire
(none@ pci entry in pciconf with subclass FireWire).
I decided to attach it on boot with loading a kernel module,
so I had had to add an appropriate string to loader.conf
Unfortunately I forgot the module name, so I looked in
/boot/defaults/loader.conf for an example without success.

The following firewire modules are missing:
fwe, fwip, fwohci, sbp, and probably several others.

So what do you think of adding these entries?
Does it make sense to add (all of) them there?
On the other hand, there are already such exotic entries
as bktr and svr4 emulation layer, so why don't.
