It should be easy to write that script if you want to work on it.
Just modprobe the module you're interested in and look at
/proc/modules to see the order everything got loaded in.  To get the
script take that list of modules, put "insmod" in front of each name,
make a second copy in reverse order and put "rmmod" in front of each
name.

Keep in mind that Linus says module unloading is a deprecated,
developer-only feature.
