This patchset has 2 issues which I noted in the last series that are
generic, and could best be dealt with on sysfs, and suggested
how this could actually be dealt with on sysfs / kernfs.

When I suggested the generic way to fix this your main argument against
a generic solution was that we don't support module removal. Given that
argument did not seem to hold any water it begs the question if you
still would rather not see this fixed in sysfs / kernfs.

If you however are more open to it now, I can instead take that work, and
send a proper patch for review.
