I think that there should be a way to tell devfsd to unload shared objects
from CFUNCTION/MFUNCTION entries and reload them. This would allow me to
replace the shared object with a new version without requiring that devfsd be
restarted.
I know that the devfsd would need to be restarted if I was trying to fix a
serious bug in the module (IE memory corruption), but for minor issues
(changing logging messages or adding new functions) it should not be
necessary to stop and restart devfsd entirely IMHO.
