>Description:
	The RELENG_4 loader cannot load the snd module together
	with its dependencies using 'load snd' (or snd_load="YES")
	in loader.conf because the last module in the dependency graph
	(snd_pcm presumably) has already been loaded as a result
	of previous dependencies. The returned EEXIST error is erroneously
	propagated to the caller of file_load_dependencies.

	NB: I do not know what the situation with CURRENT is.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Type 'load snd' at the loader prompt with a kernel that does not
	have compiled-in sound drivers.
	The snd module and its dependencies will be loaded, but then
	a 'module is already loaded' message will be emitted, and all
	the newly-loaded modules will be discarded (as can be confirmed
	using lsmod).
>Fix:
	This patch against RELENG_4 appears to fix the problem for me;
	please review.
