We replace some of the drivers used by the built-in camera app and daemon. Those programs seem to lock the modules as always-loaded, and we haven't been able to figure out how to rmmod them (even after forcibly killing camera-ui and omap3camd). Eventually we gave up and just put up a message telling people to reboot after installation.
