Well you might me right about this. I see no sure prove signs that game wrapper
depends on secdrv driver being loaded by game loader. This is all in relation to
SafeDisc 1. I have no idea if this is true for SafeDisc 2.

But I have one more game, that uses different protection system. It has 3
drivers installed. And it does depend on them "Auto start" during the system
startup. I have no information about how they work.

That said I think it makes more sense having ntoskrnl handle drivers because
eventually that what we will end up with in the long run.
