Well, from a security POV, loading _anything_ into the kernel at
run-time, auto- or not, is a disaster waiting to happen.  It's why I
disable LKM and MODULAR (as applicable to the version in question) for
all my kernels.  I'm even slightly uncomfortable with BPF, though I
trust the verifier enough, and find the facility useful enough, that I
do keep that enabled.
