Is it possible to make Xen-U kernels fake the loading of modules?  Every
time someone says "insmod foobar", the kernel would say "ok, foobar is
now on the lsmod list" but then it doesn't actually run any code in the
module.

Would this fake-out anaconda sufficiently?  Or does anaconda run
'insmod' or 'modprobe' (in which case replacing those programs with
symlinks to '/bin/true' would fix the problem)?

This was my main concern when trying to create a honeypot; 'lsmod' looks
different when you're inside one.
