Auto-load modules listed in the `/etc/modules` file. This makes it possible for systems to specify (and users to override) the load of kernel modules that may not be detectable via `uevent` messages. Previously these modules were compiled into the kernel, but this does not support cases where they could be optional. For example, it would be nice to have a few USB gadget driver options without hardcoding them into the kernel. This lets systems be made where the default case loads a Ethernet/serial gadget driver (for example), but that can be disabled by overriding `/etc/modules` with a different set of drivers.

FYI - there's some out-of-band discussion on how this is handled. E.g., by file in |

I'm curious if there's any update / recap on the discussion/trade-offs because I lost track of it and assumed it was already decided/merged. |

It hasn't been resolved. Justin got busy and I haven't prototyped an Application config version so that we can properly compare options. |
