    I know that part, I'm just wondering if it would be nice to have
    even dynamically loaded modules notice the kernel option
    so that the "usbcore" module would see the "blinkenlights=1"
    parameter from the kernel boot options when dynamically loaded?

    That way, you wouldn't have to stop and figure out if a module
    was static or dynamic to decide if you need to edit the grub boot
    line or the modprobe.conf file.
