 } A "sane arch" (for purposes of this PR) is an arch that does not need
 } options INSECURE (i.e. for working X support).
 } 
 } In a non-INSECURE kernel we can not load file system modules when parsing
 } /etc/fstab, since securelevel is already preventing that.
 
      Has this been tested?  sys/kern/kern_module.c:module_listener_cb()
 explicitly allows autoloaded modules.  Of course, there is enough stuff
 going on in kauth that something else might be disallowing it.
