><P
> Remove a kmem_cache_t object from the slab cache.
Returns 0 on success.
</P
><P
> It is expected this function will be called by a module when it is
unloaded. This will remove the cache completely, and avoid a duplicate
cache being allocated each time a module is loaded and unloaded, if the
module doesn't have persistent in-kernel storage across loads and unloads.
</P
><P
> The caller must guarantee that noone will allocate memory from the cache
during the <TT

>kmem_cache_destroy</TT
>.
