Loadable kernel module daemon

   46  ?  S    0:00 /sbin/kerneld

This process provides on-demand loading of kernel modules and is not essential for the operation of the firewall. It is recommended that the firewall kernel be rebuild without kernel module support. This requires that all kernel functionality be built into the kernel rather than loaded as modules. Once that it is done, this process can be eliminated.
