Please, no.

There is so much "goo" around the module loading these days; there
are incursions into "mount" and all sorts of other programs that
should not know about module loading.

Either load it by hand/at startup, or generalize the mechanism by
adding a data page to modules to describe what they provide, and
then present default fault handlers for the classes of services
so that the kernel can do the demand-loading (if necessary).
