Heh.

You might as well just exit, and assume that whoever sees it not
running should have enough of a clue to know why it exited.  8-).

The only failure mode that gets to the end there is the module not
loading, and the error is not indicative of the load failure, was
all I was saying.

Like I said, it's an OK change (at least if it's OK for ifconfig
and mount to load modules, instead of the demand causing the kernel
to load them), it's just a bit light on the error message.
