This sounds like a generally good idea, but the question is: do we want this inside a kernel module or in userspace, either like the regulartory daemon intel has (unfortunately in binary only form) or as a simple init script. I really don't want to recompile my kernel just because regulations changed, and they seems to do that quite often.
