Ok. I don't need a separate file, but thought it was easier to get
this change accepted, if it was kept in a file of its own.

If you don't mind making /etc/rc more complex than it currently is, 
then I'm going to merge the PCI LKM support in.

What about the location of the PCI LKM loadable modules ?

I have suggested to create a new directory (/lkm/pci) for them, but
there is no technical reason to not put them directly into /lkm.

How about the location of the file that maps PCI vendor/device IDs
to module names. Should it reside with the LKMs, or be found in /etc ?
