Bart and I are debating this.  The drivers are intentionally not loaded,
since I was (and am still) paranoid about having just-delivered code run at
package install time.  We may compromise and have the post-execute phase of
the driver install load all drivers that had been added or updated, so that
at least all bits are on the system before the potential panic.

man -s5 pkg, as of build 111.  If you don't have that,

    http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/pkg/gate/src/man/pkg.5.txt
