Yeah, this is a known issue, just reboot.

Its an absolute royal pain to remove all the resources consumed by a
module, and if you manage you then have to deal with fragmented storage
-- that is, we need to go keep track of which entries are used.

Its a giant heap of complexity that's just not worth it.


Given all that, I don't see why we should up this. Just don't reload
modules (or better, don't use modules at all).
