Can this please be made optional so it will NOT try to load a vfs module?

There are reasons why some file systems are not enabled in the kernel
and having some magic which still does it is very surprisingly and not
intentional.
I'm more inclined to make the default the other way around, disable it
and only enable it by a compile option or sysctl.
