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.
