Comments ?
I would have thought a MOD_UNQUIESCE would be required too - maybe called MOD_ACTIVATE (but I don't care much about the name). It'd make things more orthogonal.
When a module is loaded, it would be in a quiescent state allowing only a MOD_UNLOAD or a MOD_ACTIVATE. It's open for business between MOD_ACTIVATE and MOD_QUIESCE.
I'm not sure I see any real-world application for this ? Can you give an example ? Why would you load a module and not use it ?
The idea is that the user can be more active in getting rid of the active module by QUIESCEing it, then running around murdering processes before unloading it.
I could maybe see a point in this but I cannot remember one single instance where I would have actually done this myself.
