Once again, I don't think you're giving me enough clues as to what
you're aiming at. While I believe it's the sysadmin's choice whether to
unload modules, it's also hir choice as to whether to run a daemon
that'll auto-unload unused modules. That part of your idea I can
understand. I'd imagine it'd work great as a port.

You can already do this. kldunload the old module, and kldload the new
module. Or am I missing something again?
