Just an idea - would it be possible, instead of having to manually insmod khttp (and keep it loaded all the time which defeats the purpose of it being a module rather than in the kernel), to modify the networking code which accepts the connection request and does a request_module("serve-tcp-port-80") (with alias serve-port-80 khttpd) to load your khttpd automagicaly?
This could be useful in the future when more inkernel network servers are written.
No thanks. First it'd be in one of the hottest paths in the kernel, and secondly the kernel should make no policy like this on server startup. The system administrator explicity starts up httpd now, and he can continue to do so in his startup scripts, only now httpd will insert the kernel side httpd module.
