Description:

The kldpatch utility can print or alter the content of device/quirk tables in kernel modules. These tables are generally used to identify devices, and possibly apply specific quirks to enable/disable certain features. Kldpatch is especially useful to let the kernel recognise a new device without rebooting and rebuilding/reinstalling kernel or modules. WWW: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/

Note - this may be worth importing in the base system, however we still
need it as a port for older OS releases.
