I'm not worried about memory, but I'm trying to understand why this can't be
done in the background rather than the kernel. Doing this in the kernel can be
confusing enough to backend such as GLINK bus that does not use this service.

I saw also this alternative to keep module independent, but i did not test it yet.

How the module driver are probed during device registration is not cristal clear
for me here...
Your approach looks to me a good compromize, I definitively need to apply and
test you patch to well understood the associated scheduling...
