Are you suggesting that these routines could be used to
easily add parameters to kldload? (hint, hint) <grin>
No, I know it's not that easy. We need to be able to do things
like have "TransmissionMode=4" on the kldload command line, and
have that parse the decimal value 4, and then go into the module
and set the value of the TransmissionMode variable to actually be
4 immediately after loading the module into memory, before any of
its subroutines are called. This is what the Linux module loader
allows, and it's extremely useful...
