>Description:
On unload of hwpmc the following is reported:

Warning: memory type pmc leaked memory on destroy (2 allocations, 512 byt
es leaked).

Cause:
on load pmc_md_initialize() causes some buffers to be allocated
on unload the following code from pmc_cleanup is executed:
              if (md->pmd_cputype == PMC_CPU_GENERIC)
                        pmc_generic_cpu_finalize(md);
                else
                        pmc_md_finalize(md);


pmc_generic_cpu_finalize does not free any memory allocated by functions called by pmc_md_initialize.
>How-To-Repeat:
I have CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P9600  @ 2.66GHz (2660.06-MHz K8-class CPU) and ran the following in VirtualBox:

# kldload hwpmc
# kldunlod hwpmc
