  Modified files:
    lib/libc/gen         getvfsent.c 
  Log:
  A feeble attempt at kld compatability.  The mount_* programs assume that
  they cannot mount a filesystem that they cannot see in getvfsbyname().
  Part 1 of this is a hack, make vfsisloadable() always return true - the
  ultimate decider of whether it's loadable or not is kldload() or mount().
  Part 2 of this is to have vfsload() call kldload(2) and return success if
  it works.  This means that we will use a viable kld module in preference
  to an LKM!
  Ultimately, the thing to do is remove the hacks to do a vfsload in all the
  mount_* commands and let the kernel do it by itself in mount(2).
