Hi!

Okay. So we want modules and want them unload. And we want it bugfree.

So... then its okay if module unload is *slow*, right?

I believe you can just freeze_processes(), unload module [now its
safe, you *know* noone is using that module, because all processes are
in your refrigerator], thaw_processes().

That's going to take *lot* of time, but should be very simple and very
effective.
