It doesn't matter if a something is compiled as a module or if this something is part of a monolithic kernel. The "something" will still get it's /sys/module/SOMETHING/ directory and if it happens to have parameters, a /sys/module/SOMETHING/parameters/ directory. # lsmod Module Size Used by ide_scsi 11848 0 usb_storage 54400 0 cx24110 6084 1 dvb_bt8xx 13892 0 dvb_core 72444 1 dvb_bt8xx bt878 8488 1 dvb_bt8xx bttv 163508 2 dvb_bt8xx,bt878 ir_common 30148 1 bttv compat_ioctl32 960 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 5380 1 bttv videobuf_dma_sg 10884 1 bttv videobuf_core 13956 2 bttv,videobuf_dma_sg btcx_risc 3848 1 bttv tveeprom 13968 1 bttv videodev 25792 1 bttv v4l2_common 15168 2 bttv,videodev v4l1_compat 13508 2 bttv,videodev # ls /sys/module/ 8250/ compat_ioctl32/ i8042/ mtrr/ snd/ v4l2_common/ acpi/ cx24110/ ide_cd/ printk/ snd_intel8x0/ videobuf_core/ atkbd/ drm/ ide_scsi/ psmouse/ snd_pcm_oss/ videobuf_dma_sg/ bt878/ dvb_bt8xx/ ir_common/ rcupdate/ tcp_cubic/ videodev/ btcx_risc/ dvb_core/ keyboard/ scsi_mod/ tveeprom/ vt/ bttv/ ehci_hcd/ libusual/ sg/ usb_storage/ cdrom/ hid/ loop/ sis5595/ usbcore/ cn/ i2c_algo_bit/ mousedev/ sis900/ v4l1_compat/ But don't do it for rate control.
