Well, I created a message appearing before modconf starts, something
saying "The driver you looking for may be already loaded, blah, blah."

It would be possible to take target/boot/config-*, so some magic and
present a list of included drivers. But it still would not say whether
the driver is loaded or not. And the names of config options often do
not match the names of driver modules that the people look for.
