Description
In Chapter 20 (The FBT provider), the following text occurs:

Module Loading

The Solaris kernel can dynamic load and unload kernel modules. When FBT is 
loaded and a module is dynamically loaded, FBT automatically provides new 
probes associated with the new module. If a loaded module has unenabled FBT 
probes, the module may be unloaded; the corresponding probes will be destroyed 
as the module is unloaded. If a loaded module has enabled FBT probes, the 
module is considered busy, and cannot be unloaded.

The second to last sentance is confusing;  it should read:

If a loaded module has *no enabled* FBT probes, the module may be unloaded; ...

(i.e. s/unenabled/no enabled/)
