Not only that. The use of the MODULE_DEPEND macro allows one module to access 
the variables of modules on which it depends. But man page of
MODULE_DEPEND doesn't tell anything about this functionality. Hence I
am looking for any good documentation of KLD loader. But I didn't find
anything. May be looking in the source code is the best solution.
