Hmm... okay, I understand that some believe we may need kstats to
outlast a ddi-detach.
Although I'm not 100% convinced on that matter. I still believe that
any device for which you're collecting kstats that are interesting to
admins is probably either a disk or a nic, and generally those are only
interesting to admins if they are in use and thus not eligible for
detach by modunload -i 0.
or a crypto provider and those do get unloaded sometimes when not in use
but the data over the whole time of the system is probably more
interesting. However the crypto kstats are already special since we lie
to users not asserting all privilege that they are always zero.
We have kstats for both hardware and software providers. In half the
cases of our hardware providers there is no /dev entry and nothing in
userland holding them open unless they are being actively used.
