Do you have any reference where this is documented? I'm not
suggesting it's not a good idea but until now the only way I saw to
get a kext loaded at boot time seemed to be to install it in
/System/Library/Extensions. It never occured to me that a
StartupItem might be used to load a kext.
There are two basic types of kexts. IOKit kexts use IOKit to bind and
match against the hardware found on the machine. They are loaded
automatically based on their matching instructions.
All other kexts have to be loaded by something. That's usually either
your app or a startup process of some sort.
