There's no mechanism for this besides ddb, and ddb is not small enough
for the install kernel.  I have considered putting a very restrictive
mask in the INSTALL kernel, but until now, 9 would have been in it.  A
few weeks ago someone suggested replacing the mask with a preference
list.  This is also a good idea, but still isn't perfect.

Another possibility is a sysctl.  The current code supports hot-insert
(but not remove) in theory, but it doesn't always work for me.
