>Description:

It is possiable to compile a module such as tun into the kernel and then
load it with kldload. I'm not sure which on actually gets run if you
create a module. We should either forbid this or treat static modules
just like dynamic ones and allow them to be unloaded and replaced with
another module.

>How-To-Repeat:

Compile "device tun" into your kernel.  Then run "kldload if_tun".
Similar problems presumably exist with other modules.

>Fix:
