Netgraph cannot be loaded by hand because of the private namespace between
dependend modules (a symbol not explicit exported but global in a module
can be seen only by other modules if loaded via a dependency). Compiling
into the kernel is hardly an option if you are going to fix things taking
into account compile times on sparc.
