Yes, but the main issues is that LookupPrivilegeValue() is a hack that won't
work for services.exe when it is implemented correctly. This is because
LookupPrivilegeValue() uses RPC calls to retrieve information from
lsass.exe. There is no guarantee that lsass.exe and rpcss.exe are running
when services.exe loads the first driver. Thus, services.exe will not be
able to load drivers.

BTW, we really need to get RPC working because the service control calls in
advapi32.dll also use RPC to call into services.exe.
