What level of support does kerneld have when loading or saving values? Is it possible to have a "boot / initial run" value, and then as the module gets "tweaked" through the course of the system run time, the "tweaked" values will be read in from something like a /proc entry that kerneld will keep for all modules (even after they are unloaded)?
I have not hacked on kerneld, nor even looked at the code so this is just a "feeler" for others to think about. I might get ambitious and work on it later but I don't use modules much myself.
