Hi,
I would like to load a kernel extension from my code preferably
without
invoking kextload.
The nice APIs to do this seem to be private in Leopard with the
exception of
the kld.h functions that I'm not sure I understand.
Is there a recommended approach to DIY loading/unloading of kernel
extensions in Leopard?

Um, this is asking "How do I do X, but without using the clearly
defined, supported method of doing X."
What is the reason why you don't want to use kextload?
There are a number of operations where the supported way for code to
do X, is to just launch another process to do the work, then look at
the output of that process to figure out if it succeeded and/or what
the results of the operation are.
