if i understood you correctly (i probably didn't), in order to be able to
modify the contents of a global variable which is defined inside a
loadable module, you need to have code in this module that will handle
this modification proeprly.
as i understood (i probably didn't) you want to allow a user to modify the
value of such a variable by echoing a value into some file under the /proc
file system. this is not hard - do it the same way as this is done by
other parts of the kernel (for example, at
file /usr/src/linux/kernel/sysctl.c, follow the definition and usage of
the 'root_table' structure.).
if you are asking something different - please be clearer.
