these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running

nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
Moving the service before multi-user.target (so the `hardened` test
continue to work the way it did before) can result in locking the kernel
too early. It's better to lock it a bit later and changing the test to
wait specifically for the disable-kernel-module-loading.service.
Ensure that modules required by all declared fileSystems are explicitly
loaded. A little ugly but fixes the deferred mount test.

Adds an option `security.lockKernelModules` that, when enabled, disables
kernel module loading once the system reaches its normal operating state.
The rationale for this over simply setting the sysctl knob is to allow
some legitmate kernel module loading to occur; the naive solution breaks
too much to be useful.
The benefit to the user is to help ensure the integrity of the kernel
runtime: only code loaded as part of normal system initialization will be
available in the kernel for the duration of the boot session. This helps
prevent injection of malicious code or unexpected loading of legitimate
but normally unused modules that have exploitable bugs (e.g., DCCP use
after free CVE-2017-6074, n_hldc CVE-2017-2636, XFRM framework
CVE-2017-7184, L2TPv3 CVE-2016-10200).
From an aestethic point of view, enabling this option helps make the
configuration more "declarative".
