Yeah. Options here would be:
1) big hammer - write a modprobe wrapper that cleans
unused/unloadable modules after every load
2) smaller hammer - write a modprobe wrapper that remembers what was
loaded before and, on failure, unloads all newly added, unused,
unloadable modules
3) surgical hammer - whatever ends up loading acpihpi knows that, on
failure, dock and pci_hotplug should be removed (if unused)
fyi, the dependencies loaded, and left unused, eat 9476 (dock) and
28600 (pci_hotplug) bytes.
