Subsystems or drivers may opt-in to this behavior by calling

Should userspace have some involvement in this decision?  It knows if
it's got any intention of loading modules for example.  Kernel config
checks might be good enough, though it's going to be a pain to work out
if the relevant driver is built as a module for example.
