Notes:
(1) Persistent data is not on by default, you must run insmod with -e
to support persistent data. If you are loading modules via
modprobe and you want persistent data for all modules then you need
insmod_opt -e ""
in /etc/modules.conf.
(2) Current kernels do not support persistent data nor generic strings.
You must apply patch-2.4.0-test13-pre2 to get kernel support for
these features.
(3) No modules currently have persistent data. Module writers who
want data to be persistent must make a one character change to
their modules, read the above patch. Even then, the user must
activate the persistent data, see note (1).
