+2.4 Module load option
+----------------------
+
+In order to track the events at the early module load phase, add the
+following codes in your module:
+
+    char *xxx_trace = NULL;
+    module_param_named(trace, xxx_trace, charp, 0400);
+
+
+    /* Your module init function */
+    xxx_init()
+    {
+        ....
+        if (xxx_trace)
+                trace_set_clr_module_event(THIS_MODULE, xxx_trace, 1);
+        ....
+    }
+
+where the xxx_trace is same as event-list described above, besides DO
+NOT include the subsystem.
+
+You can check the sample code for more information.
