Hi Folks,

Hopefully a quick question.

Is there any reason to prefer KLD modules for drivers etc over static
linking? For example, KLDs are covenient, loading and unloading for
development but is it a case of using KLD modules for development then
building drivers statically into the kernel when development is complete.Or
is it a case of KLDs are now supported and are the preferred method of
development moving forward. I've read the online KLD docs, developed the
code and greped through kern_linker.c so I understand how to develop KLDs it
but would like to supplement my understanding.

Thanks in advance,
