I suppose we can make module_driver a variadic macro and pass any additional
parameters to the register and unregister functions. Patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH] driver-core: Allow additional parameters for module_driver

Allow module_driver take additional parameters which will be passed to the
register and unregister function calls. This allows it to be used in cases
where additional parameters are required (e.g. usb_serial_register_drivers).
