Re: autoloading compat43 on tty ioctls



It seems that after christos's change only applications that
#include <sys/ioctl_compat.h> will require tty_43.c

True, but the way ioctl's are handled in kern/tty.c seems to auto-load
the compat_43 and compat_60 modules for _any_ unhandled ioctl.  So if
you have an illegal/invalid ioctl it will autoload the modules, and then
unload them 10 seconds later.

I question whether we should do the autoloads...
