That's more by luck than design.  Take BPF as a counter example.  Take
BRIDGE also.  What if I want to compile out the SMP support on my local
kld's?  The present system is a hack and sys/moduiles/* is going away when
we have a coherent build system to replace it (which is why there should
be no source there at all, and why sys/modules/syscons/* is misplaced).

Cheers,
