State-Changed-Why: 
I'm closing this PR for the following reason:

Taking the current semantics of geom into account this PR doesn't document any
bug, but geom's normal behavior. For any sub-class that is not loaded, a
standard help output gets generated. although something like 'geom --help help'
sure looks strange, it would very well be possible to have geom load
"/boot/kernel/geom_--help.ko".
Of course one could argue if the current semantics of geom are the best
solution, but that should rather be discussed on freebsd-geom at .
