And I also wrote the parameter parsing code, so sending to me is probably
a good idea.

So, what's this for?  You want trace= as a standard module parameter
or something?  If this is a once-off I'd prefer a custom hack I think.
If you can think of other users, this might be a good idea; though don't
use "void *data" use an explicit struct module *...

Cheers,
Rusty.
