I am aware of. For example, the ucom driver is present in the GENERIC =
kernel in this way. My expectation was that "kldstat -v" would list it, =
if present, but it does not. A design flaw?

Sounds like a bug, but I'm not sure where..

Maybe ucom doesn't appear because it doesn't have a DRIVER_MODULE() =
declaration (because it isn't a driver).
