How would one give flags to kernel modules?
I.e. a kernel module I wrote starts a kernel thread. It should be controlable what kernel thread it starts depending on a sysctl. Of course the sysctl isn't available before the module is loaded.
So is there a way to pass a kernel module options to the load-handler, as it is the case for the linux modprobe?
For statically drivers in the kernel this can be done by a r/o loader tunable, but I really want to have a module.
It turns out that kenv is just handy for this. I use it to pass debugging information and configuration info to the ATM drivers. And you can set kenv entries from the loader and the shell.
