Re: modules_enabled in kernel ELF note section



"matthew green" <mrg%eterna.com.au@localhost> points;

a flag that says "we want to try to load modules in the loader".

The most interesting part of module preload facility is to allow
miniroot.kmod.  This eliminates the necessity to build a separate
INSTALL kernel which holds mdimage inside.  Another possiblity
is to have DDB symbol table as a module.  This would wape out
the awesome burdern of SYMTAB_SPACE maintaintance when
LIBSA bootloader is made smart enough to do that.
