I would avoid module parameters at all costs.
It is the worst possible interface for users of your software.
You really need to fundamentally solve the problems related to making
sure the proper modules for the VM actually present on the system get
loaded when necessary rather than adding hacks like this.
Unlike a proper solution, these hacks are ugly but have to stay around
forever once you put them in place.
