 Scot, thanks for the patch. Really there is no consystency. ;-)
 However, I'm not sure if the proposed behavior is desirable.
 I.e. if a port loads kernel module but the system is not configured
 to do it at next reboot, then a user may got very surprised. Esp.
 if previous uptime was several months...
