Actually, I may just move the script to usr.sbin.  When MFC'ing the MI/MD
split of the Linux compat support, I was panicing kernels.  So I turned
off loading the KLD in rc.conf, and manually loaded it using ``linux''
(to get the Linux ldconfig run) when I was ready to test a new version of
the KLD.
