Well, I'm not sure anything other has attached.
I recognized that kldloading a module doesn't attach anymore where it
formerly had.
One example is the nvidia driver, another one is ng_ubt.
It gets only detected if I load it in loader.conf.
I had this problem ever since I tried 7-current (almost a year ago).
I hadn't seen the problem with RELENG_6 on the same hardware (ng_ubt on
one machine and nvidia on another one) before.
