Hi!
Sorry for jumping into this so late.
Please please PLEASE don't break loading modules by path in kld_list.
This is used by the drm-kmod files to distinguish them from the base
modules, and this has been communicated in documentation all over the
place, including numerous ports.
Can this please be reverted, or amended to match reality.
In practice, adding both the path and the extension (.ko) to a module
in
kld_list works and the module loads.
As the code itself stands, it works for loading, but throws an error if you try
to load an already loaded module adding a .ko extension. In other words, it
works but is wrong. The path actually still does work, which was my mistake.
I'm awaiting approval for this, which correctly handles all cases:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18670
Konstantin has reviewed, but doesn't feel comfortable giving approval as it's
not his area, which is fair enough.

Ok.
Will this continue to work when loading /path/to/foo.ko rather than
path/to/foo? (I assume it will)
