[Bug 149987] Re: CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD is not set

I also need to force remove a module.
It is unacceptable to have to reboot when I know for sure that removing the module will not affect the system stability.
It is also difficult to keep rebuilding kernel just to have this feature.

Please reconsider. Thanks.
