This is a major reason that I "just say no" to Linux kernel modules. The
lack of any well-defined kernel<-->module interface makes them almost
unuseable unless everything is carefully matched up by your distribution
vendor.
Loadable modules are a solved problem in Solaris and probably most other
commercial Unices since many years ago.
