Does that work when modules are autounloaded one by one?

I remember a similar discussion about trying to get rid of the
parport_lowlevel alias, but it ended up that it was necessary:

modules.conf:
above parport parport_pc

use /dev/lp0
autoload parport and then parport_pc
autoload lp

time passes, lp is unloaded
time passes, parport_pc is unloaded

use /dev/lp0: can't
