    Hi!

    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.

    Thanks for any pointers

    Alex
