One possibility is to do that with symbol_request() and friends. That would not be pretty though, imho. DVB subsystem uses that currently to load frontend modules dynamically, see dvb_attach() and dvb_frontend_detach() in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvbdev.h and drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c. -- Anssi Hannula - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
