Maybe I was wrong when I called this regression, but this was very
surprising behavior for me. And in 5.X I did a lot of udf
debugging/experimenting and never encountered such a problem. Maybe I
always did kldload before mount, I can't tell now.
Anyway, this seems like an annoyance at the very least, pinning a kernel
module without any important reasons.
