DESCRIPTION

23       Load a module using the user mode module loader. The function returns
24       zero on success or a negative errno code on failure. Note that a
25       successful module load does not mean the module did not then unload and
26       exit on an error of its own. Callers must check that the service they
27       requested is now available not blindly invoke it.
28
29       If module auto-loading support is disabled then this function becomes a
30       no-operation.
