Diff to malo(4) man page for loading malofw kernel module

I suggest adding a line indicating that the firmware module must be loaded at
boot time through this line in /boot/loader.conf:

   malofw_load="YES"

This may seem evident to advanced users but can be difficult for beginners,
specially when the manual gives instructions to compile the malo driver or load
it into the kernel that are not needed: malo is included by default in GENERIC.

Suggested (not tested) diff attached.

Best regards,
Juan
