I read the article about kernel mode dlls:
http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?id=171

Is there a way to dynamically link kernel mode dlls?

Thanks.

Do you mean link, or dynamically load? There is no equivalent of
LoadLibrary in the kernel. It is possible to write your own, but it is a
PITA. The typical approach is to load a driver with ZwLoadDriver then call
it to get a vector table through an IOCTL. While not as pure as just a
function call it works.
