Managing dynamically loadable kernel modules

Demand unloading a DLKM

Demand unloading is a manual procedure that creates more space in the kernel by unloading modules that aren't being used

If the module is not being used, and if no other loaded module depends on it, it is unloaded. If the module is being used, or if another loaded module references symbols defined in the module, it is not unloaded. However, the module will be available for the next auto-unload. See modadmin(1M).
