Surely doable, but it's work and needs infrastructure we don't have right now. We must be able to unregister everything modules can register, which is only partly the case today. We need usage counters so we can figure whenever a module is in use or not. Maybe more. I don't see a use case justifying that work. The linux kernel can unload modules (when enabled at build time), and pretty much the only reason I've ever used that is device driver development: test new driver version without reboot (as long as you don't make a mistake which Oopses the kernel ...). take care, Gerd
