LKMs are mostly useful as a way for binary-only drivers to be
delivered to be run on binary-only operating systems. For something
like Solaris, where the user can't compile a kernel and doesn't get
source to a third party's driver, they make total sense. They are far
less useful in a context like NetBSD.
