Actually, making a sysvipc module might make sense.  Just as you can kldload
'usb' to get all of USB, or 'pcm' to get all of sound, having a module that
just depends on other modules would allow you to kldload 'sysvipc' and get all
of the sysv ipc stuff.  It also doesn't require any hacks in loader.conf.
