The more I think about it, the more I think this should be a per-insmod instance thing rather than a system-wide switch. Currently the kernel param code doesn't allow a generic param outside the ones specified by the module itself but adding support for something like driver.async_load=1 shouldn't be too difficult, applying that to existing systems shouldn't be much more difficult than a system-wide switch, and it'd be siginificantly cleaner than fiddling with driver blacklist.
