What is won by unloading a module anyway? Memory the module
previously allocated will be freed? Hmm, do the following
several times (n*100, n*1000):
hostname# kldload cd9660; kldunload cd9660
More and more wired memory will be allocated but not freed.
If you perform this cycle too many times, the machine will
lock up or reboot.
