Well, autoload *is* implemented, you just have to add an alias command
to modprobe.conf before it'll work.
And if we embed the alias in the module instead, it will still be
possible to disable autloading by adding a "backlist <modulename>" to
modproble.conf.
So I don't *think* that's the issue, unless I've missed something.
