The problem with this proprosal is that it espouses the notion that modules
are tied to a specific kernel.

It's possible that Linux and FreeBSD work this way - I don't know. In our
case, kernel modules are not tied to a specific kernel compliation. A great
deal of work has been done over the last 2.5 years to make that the case.
