    Hello!

    I was just joking around here, but what do you think about this idea:

    A proc interface for module handling:
       /proc/mods/
       /proc/mods/<module-name>/<link-to-the-modules-use-us>

    So we could try to load a module with
       mkdir /proc/mods/ipv6
    and remove it and every module which uses us with
       rm -r /proc/mods/ipv6

    Modul options could be passed my
       echo "psmouse_noext=1" > /proc/mods/psmouse/options
    which would also make it possible to change module options while running..

    It's just an idea, perhaps someone likes this..
    perhaps if there is enough feedback I even could think about
    implementing it.

    Greetings'

    Nico
