I'd say in the same way they would be expected to modify the RedHat /etc/rdma/rdma.conf file. I copied the defaults from that file, which was to autoload target drivers. I agree with you, they probably don't make sense to be defaulted on. Ideally their respective supporting packages or kernel would ensure the modules autoload if someone is working with RDMA... I know nothing about the target infrastructure - can you see a way to do that?
