Ok, I cant find any man page called shutdown_kproc in either 4.3 or 4.4.
Anyway, he wants to destroy a "thread", and not an "internal" daemon/process.

To destroy a kernel thread, you need to make use of the kthread_exit()
operation.  It is prototyped as follows:

void kthread_exit(ecode);

The *ecode* arg to kthread_exit() is used to specify the return code of
the thread which you are going to terminate.

Additonal Information can be found from:
kthread(9)  -- (available in FreeBSD 5.0)
sys/kthread.h

HTH.
