We can, and we also dynamically load modules when needed
(ifconfig, mount). The kernel can also load modules from KLD
files "on its own" via kern_linker.c:linker_load_file(). An
example of usage is in vfs_syscalls.c:mount(), where if a
specified file system configuration structure (vfsconf) is not
found in the list of 'configured' file systems, mount(2) attempts
to load a module for the file system, if one exists.
