1What:		/sys/module
2Description:
3	The /sys/module tree consists of the following structure:
4
5	/sys/module/MODULENAME
6		The name of the module that is in the kernel.  This
7		module name will show up either if the module is built
8		directly into the kernel, or if it is loaded as a
9		dynamic module.
10
11	/sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters
12		This directory contains individual files that are each
13		individual parameters of the module that are able to be
14		changed at runtime.  See the individual module
15		documentation as to the contents of these parameters and
16		what they accomplish.
17
18		Note: The individual parameter names and values are not
19		considered stable, only the fact that they will be
20		placed in this location within sysfs.  See the
21		individual driver documentation for details as to the
22		stability of the different parameters.
23
24	/sys/module/MODULENAME/refcnt
25		If the module is able to be unloaded from the kernel, this file
26		will contain the current reference count of the module.
27
28		Note: If the module is built into the kernel, or if the
29		CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD kernel configuration value is not enabled,
30		this file will not be present.
