makeoptions     MODULES_OVERRIDE=3D"cpuctl filemon aesni vesa amdsmn amdte=
mp"

These are the only modules under /usr/src which I use, so I limit
building modules using MODULES_OVERRIDE.

Because filemon.ko has to be loaded.

But you're right, device filemon works in my kernel config file.  I
added device filemon (and removed it from MODULES_OVERRIDE) and
my kernel compiled successfully.

I removed filemon_load=3D"YES" from /boot/loader.conf and booted the
new kernel.  kldstat -v showed that filemon was in the kernel.

So I guess I misunderstood what optional means in
/sys/conf/files:dev/filemon/filemon.c optional filemon
