Boris reminded me of someething I had forgotten to mention: currently unloading
a module that uses mutexes with WITNESS enabled in the kernel will panic the
kernel, cause witness tries to look at the string of the mutex name which is
usually a constant in the module later on.  This leads to a kernel page fault
basically, so until I get this fixed, you really can't unload modules with
WITNESS right now.
