Make system call modules a bit more robust:
- If we fail to register the system call during MOD_LOAD, then note that so that we don't try to deregister it or invoke the chained event handler during the subsequent MOD_UNLOAD event. Doing the deregister when the register failed could result in trashing system call entries. - Add a SI_SUB_SYSCALLS just before starting up init and use that to register syscall modules instead of SI_SUB_DRIVERS. Registering system calls as late as possible increases the chances that any other module event handlers or SYSINITs in a module are executed to initialize the data in a kld before a syscall dependent on that data is able to be invoked.
