Unless I'm missing something, it looks to me like the only interface, is the dump() method. There doesn't appear to be a doit()?
dump() seems to me that is only suitable for getting information from the kernel. In our case, we need to get parameters from user space to the kernel. There are other alternatives, like configfs that seem more suitable. Again, the key requirement is that the more flexible configuration must be available at module load as does the current module parameter patch. If we enlist a user space helper to assist in passing the more flexible parameter, the lack of the helper cannot prevent the load of a module.
