} I don't like the imperative in your tone. NVMM is the user of modloader,
} not PVHVM. So if you feel like your usecase needs fixing, I'd say it's
} your problem - or don't use modules, but see below.

     I suspect there's a language issue here due to people using
English as a second language.  However, I don't see an imperative
(command) here.  You asked for suggestions on how to fix a problem.
He answered your question with a couple of suggestions.  That's
all.

     Also, I would argue that the kernel uses modloader, not the
module.  In any event, as mentioned, it is your change that broke
things...
