2.6.35.4: sudo rmmod ahci @ 2.6.35.4 succeeds: filesystem access errors follow

sudo rmmod ahci @ 2.6.35.4 succeeds: filesystem access errors follow.

Now what I'm surprised is not the filesystem errors but me being allowed to
remove the module without using the '-f' option.

Do note, lsmod |grep ahci reports something like [this is adapted from a
2.6.32 kernel]:

ahci 32200 0

so it isn't at all surprising I'm being allowed to remove a seemingly unused
module. So....
a) is this supposed to happen?
b) do you need any more info?

P.S.: CC'ing me will probably ensure I'll reply faster but not explicitly
needed since I'm subscribed.
