Just a thought...

antony.t.curtis> I have a small patch here which allows additional
antony.t.curtis> modules be loaded at boot time along with
antony.t.curtis> acpi...

It would be a job for acpi.ko and not loader(8), since the dependency
is closed within acpi itself.

If you think it must be a loader(8)'s job, it can be easily
generalized as "load additional modules if other (statically, or dynamically
defined) module is already loaded, or statically compiled into the kernel."
