    SubjectRe: Persistent module storage [was Linux 2.4 Status / TODO page]
    Could we handle this by setting a nomixerreset=1 option in modules.conf
    or as the module default that would effect module reloads. Then on boot
    up explicitly modprobe with a mixerlevel=0 and then set the levels via
    aumix etc?

    This way the existing hardware can keep the levels if it knows how. As
    mentioned there would also have to be a setlevels user script called
    after suspend/resume.

    Barring this, we could create a persistantdata module that we can
    modprobe and then discover with Keith's inter_module_xxx and read/write
    opaque data to/from. Then if the user does not want to use it they can
    just "alias persistantdata off" it and poof.
