Short of adding a script to call dmidecode to modprobe if necessary,
I can't think of a clean way of doing this.
Perhaps just making it built-in instead of modular is the best option,
at least for now in FC6 and previous.
Perhaps a new advisory MODULE_ tag might be useful? Then we can just
have depmod pick up the dependency according to its configuration?
