It appears to take two iterations of "rmmod -a" (or the old kmod unload daemon) with no use of the module in between to actually unload the module, which I believe has to do with the MOD_VISITED flag. Anyhow, whatever the behavior is, it is EXACTLY THE SAME with "rmmod -a" as with the unloading part of the kmod daemon. In both methods, the code that does the work is the same one line.
