  Honestly, I've been thinking on generating LKMs, and haven't
considered much about loading.

  LKMs generated by config(1) should work in the same way as manually
crafted LKMs do.  You can modload them.

  config(1) can create an example lkm.conf as it knows all modules it
creates, but you'll need to edit the lkm.conf to use, because
config(1) can't know about postinstall scripts or when to load.
