Ah, you want it after the code is loaded.  That's different.

Would probably work just fine, no objection from me.  Except you would
have to hack up the module-init-tools package :)


This will be pretty hard to implement in general as quite a few module
parameters do not allow changing once set and so you will have to
virtually reload modules while doing your "modprobe --apply.." trick.
