Do you want this because of the ata module ? Inclussion of ata.mod at this point is IMO a bug. If that's your only reason for wanting this feature, I'd rather exclude ata.mod instead (but in that case, we'd have to figure out how to allow user to include it in case she _wants_ to).

The necessary exclusion of the ata.mod was actually the reason to provide this patch. But it also may be useful to track down module related problems in the future. It is more convenient to use if you want to exclude a few modules for some reason.
