Following the previous discussion, one does not have to modify
Units.m. One can execute the following command after loading the
Miscellaneous`Units` package to obtain the same functionality:
FundamentalSI=
  Function[{expr},SI[expr]//.Miscellaneous`Units`Private`$ToFundamental]

For someone that asked earlier, $ToFundamental is a list of rules that
transform derived SI units into fundamental SI units.
