Attempt to load the kernel module only if we are going to create a

new interface.  In other cases loading the module is unwanted and
can lead to ill side effects.  One such effect found is as follows:
"kldunload if_foo" tells the module to kill all its interfaces,
which results in messages sent to devd; the module unloads.  Then
devd starts processing the messages, which ends up in a etc script
running ifconfig fooX, which reloads the module.
