I didn't mean it as the recommended implementation for openrc,
but just wanted to illustrate that such pre-implementation are
already in use. (Currently, this implementation is sufficient,
because currently practically nothing installs into
/usr/lib/modules-load.d, so masking is currently unneeded).

_Of course_ I would suggest that a proper implementation in
openrc should follow the standard completely.
