>Description:
During a shutdown, kernel modules should be unloaded in reverse order in which they where loaded. Otherwise, modules that other modules depend on are unloaded first, which could cause problems. 

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
src/sys/kern/kern_module.c


< typedef TAILQ_HEAD(modulelist, module) modulelist_t;
> typedef TAILQ_HEAD(, module) modulelist_t;


static void
module_shutdown(void *arg1, int arg2)
{
	module_t mod;

	if (arg2 & RB_NOSYNC)
		return;
	MOD_SLOCK;
<	TAILQ_FOREACH_REVERSE(mod, &modules, modulelist, link)
>       TAILQ_FOREACH(mod, &modules, link)
		MOD_EVENT(mod, MOD_SHUTDOWN);
	MOD_SUNLOCK;
}
