I find the interface a little confusing.  What I would have expected
is to:

 - have the module_subinit call at file scope instead of in the
   module_init helper, similar to module_init/module_exit
 - thus keep the rollback state explicitly in the module structure or
   similar so that the driver itself doesn't need to care about at
   all, and thus remove the need for the module_subexit call.
