Hi, Kostik

i want to remind that some time ago there was a report about another
bug.

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/kernel.h>
#include <sys/module.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>

static int
tst_modevent(module_t mod, int type, void *unused)
{
        switch (type) {
        case MOD_LOAD:
                return (EINVAL);
        case MOD_UNLOAD:
                break;
        };
        return (0);
}
static moduledata_t tstmod = {
        "tst",
        tst_modevent,
        0
};

DECLARE_MODULE(tst, tstmod, SI_SUB_ROOT_CONF, SI_ORDER_ANY);

# kldload -v ./tst.ko
Loaded ./tst.ko, id=16

I think loading of this module should be rejected on MOD_LOAD,
but it doesn't.
