I see a problem with the libc here. You know we are using a compact libc
for the current bootdisks with only so much in it as is needed by the
stuff in the root filesystem. If other modules will be available later
we might need more of libc. We either need to know the list of all
modules which might get available or the external modules need to come
with their own libc (which is certainly doable, only wanted to
put draw some attention to this problem).
