Drivers in Haiku are reference counted, and are consequently
implicitly unloaded when the last open file handles to their published
device node(s) are closed. However, in the case of BFS, since that one
is always in use due to handling the boot volume, that will never
happen. There currently isn't a way that I know of to reload it on the
fly otherwise.
