Fedora does for the most part. Given that there's generally nothing to 
handle autoloading for these drivers, the alternative is a script that

The kernel should do the right thing if the drivers are built in, but 
doesn't at the moment. If they're modules, it's up to the distribution 
to handle it and this patch doesn't change things.
