There is already other modules that break this conventions (and bde
doesn't like the sound and geom subdirs in modules) such as sound,
network interfaces, and all the other geom's...

Then there is the screen savers which use a suffix instead of the
prefix.. :)

I'm not familar with kldxref, but it seems like it would make sense
for it to grow logic so that if you try to load a module that the
"kernel" knows about, but doesn't match the name, it would return
that...

That still wouldn't fix the breakage, since md is now no longer md,
but g_md...  Should we fix the naming in the kernel config?
