Subject: Unused modules in 2.6.x

Hi,

Perhaps I missed something when the 2.6.x kernels got started a few
years back, but why is it not possible for unused modules to be
automatically unloaded anymore i.e with rmmod -a? I remember being able
to do that with the 2.2.x and 2.4.x series a long time ago.

Thanks,
Alex
