There has recently been a discussion on this list about the extension
of autoconf(4) such that it's able to load a plist of drivers to
actually load at boottime, similar, I think, to what OpenBSD already
has. Couldn't this serve as adhoc-solution to the issue, until
better LKM support is implemented?

In any case, I'm interested in the status of this. Does anyone have
uptodate information? TIA.
