what are the effects of this on built in driver modules? they'll have their init routines run before autoconfig runs, right? that seems to be an issue... i think having a class of builtin modules that are available during autoconfig isn't a bad thing. perhaps the right answer is infact to convert MODULE_CLASS_SECMODEL into say MODULE_CLASS_EARLY, and remove the special case handling for MODULE_CLASS_SECMODEL to deal with calling secmodel_register()/secmodel_deregister() by pushing these calls into the mi_modcmd() calls inside the secmodules themselves. .mrg.
