And once again this shows how broken the kerneld implementation currently
is ;-). There are two timeouts in the kernel for it. Once a HARD wired
timeout of one minute for the kerneld responding to an qutoloa request
and secondly an hard wired timeout of several seconds for the kerneld to
try unloading of modules marked for deletion. The second timeout may be
dynamicalized relatively easy. But until then we really need conf_file.c
in the libutils.a (OK. Richard it will not take too long before I'm done
wit it.)
