No, no add_drv.  I was very careful to make sure that modules weren't
actually loaded on installation.  Since then, that's proven to be a less
than optimal choice, so what we're going to do is to operate as we
currently do -- modifying config files only -- and then actually load the
module in the post-execute stage, so that if we're going to panic, at least
we've laid all the files down correctly.

If you're updating a driver (or doing anything else that forces the actions
to happen on a non-live image), then obviously nothing will get loaded
until you boot the other boot environment
