Maybe the in-kernel loading for NG should be removed entirely in favor of
more sophisticated userland 'auto' loading ? I haven't researched it, but
NG's module loading is pretty high on my 'why is it trying to do it at all'
list :-)
It is not really netgraph's fault. The fault lies with the stupid design
of the linker and module API. It needs to be a lot more flexible than it
is right now.
I will do something about this once we finish the BUF/BIO work. I have a
few ideas for this part of the kernel.
