Hmm...compiling the driver as a module is not really something that
makes sense on the OLPC platform, so I've never done it.

#1 is weird, there should be nothing there that slows initialization
down.  Putting in some prints and looking at the timing would be most
helpful here.

As for #2, I can certainly say that I've never unloaded this code, so
that's an untested path.  I'll have a look and see if I can see
anything obvious.
