You still use kextload to load, but it's quite a different kextload.
We were careful to preserve the options that were likely to be
used for programmatic driver loading.
The biggest changes are to options that are only useful for
development (symbol generation, etc).
True. the new one is quite nice.
The one thing which caught me off-guard (and took a while to
figure out) is that the new one generates output on stdout,
whereas the old one did not. That causes a problem if you have a
pipe setup in place and the parent wasn't expecting output from
kextload on stdout.
I solved the problem by changing the way kextload was invoked
and redirecting stdout to null.
