What do you mean by "it's an option" and "is off by default". I would
claim that any major linux distribution that I've seen in the last ten
years has support for module auto loading (enabled by default).
Distribution vendors are free to change it to whatever they want, I
guess, but it's OFF by default in the official kernel (.config).
