>Description:
devd tries to reload kernel modules which are loaded already because of multiple already-attached devices
in a system. e.g.: umodem, ng_ubt.

This causes a lot of error messages on boot which is quiet annoying.

>How-To-Repeat:
boot any machine with multiple usb devices attached to it
>Fix:
Only try to load the module if it's not loaded already.
The attached patch adds a quiet feature to kldstat's -n flag so that we can rely on just the return values of kldstat and load based on that in the action fields of /etc/devd/usb.conf.

The diff does not actually include the generated usb.conf because that would have been too big for the attachment.


Patch attached with submission follows:
