Subject:kldunload --> SYSTEM FREEZE

Was experimenting with mods to the DRI modules on -stable, and half to my surprise when I first tried a "kldunload mga.ko" (to then reload the new version) my system locked hard. I know what happened. But I'm wondering, what "should" happen.

Would you say:

a) Doh! Well of "course" it's going to lock up stupid! Don't do that!

b) It really shouldn't lock up. It should flat refuse to unload, but something is apparently broken.

c) It should unload, but a pre-unload "cleanup hook" probably isn't implemented.
