pardon - that was dumb.
must have read over that built-in.

indeed, this is a missing feature. 
there are even modules/drivers which don?t spit any line in dmesg when they are initialized - builtin or not.
there is a LOT of different behaviour in module load/init and i`d welcome if module initialization messages including version information would follow a more standard way. many modules don`t even have a version.
