It output "2" on my 9.1-RELEASE-p2 with new NFSD as output of
kldstat -v return two lines containing word 'nfsd':

Someone may be confused by non 0/1 result not catched in advisory.

Either
kldstat -v | grep -wc nfsd.ko
or
kldstat | grep -wc nfsd

should be used instead the command recommended in advisory to obtain 0/1
result.
