Hello,

could it be true that wired memory that was allocated while loading
a kernel module is not freed when it is unloaded again? New memory
gets wired on every load/unload cycle of the same module.

E.g. if you load/unload cd9660.ko repeatedly, more and more memory
gets wired and the machine will reboot, when there's no memory
available any more.

Are there plans to improve this behavoir? At the moment I can't
see any benefit from unloading a module at all.

Thanks.
