1. cd sys/modules, make and make install
2. set MKMODULAR=yes in /etc/mk.conf
3. for each of sbin/modload sbin/modunload and sbin/modstat:
        USETOOLS=no make clean
        USETOOLS=no make
        sudo USETOOLS=no make install
4. modload <driver>, currently i915drm and radeondrm are available on 
i386. i915drm is available on amd64 but there are stability problems 
running it from a module.
