We do not yet have a way to install modules, but in some design 
discussions we did talk about reusing the same mechanism for patching to 
accomplish it.

Note that the deployed methodology of drivers is the preferred way way 
to do it. The main reason we have the additional module support is so 
that we (and others) can bundle them as part of the server. I would 
expect users to only choose this approach if they are building a gold 
master and want drivers to be a part of that.
