Hi,
no doubt about the correctness of the patch and I understand the issue of 
chainloading but I think there should be other ways to inform the chainloader 
which part to load really.
I think it is also error prone because somebody might mispells his partname 
and wonders why it doesn't load at all even if his script is correct. I 
always prefer code which a compiler or interpreter verifies for correctness 
but this is chain loading is really.

What other ways does the chainloader have to figure out why it was created?

-One could pass the KService::Ptr to the KPart but this would require even 
greater and binary incompatible changes.
-One could pass something from the KService or do the full stuf using your 
default arguments
-One could fix the generic factory to 'know' the principle of a chainloader 
and then pass the data to the 'chainloader'. Now the chainloader could work
on the kService or whatever to know the real part

maybe something better
