Looks fine to me.

I wanted to ask, you are writing this as a generic layer even though
there is a single use at the moment; do you anticipate this will get
more usage soon ? I may have more comments if I knew what those may be
(it's probably all fine if the rate of changes is very low such as
with module load/unload, but I'm not sure what else you have in mind).
