I remember a workaround, you could try it if you want. Put a breakpoint init_module() function. There, step by step using gdb, it will lead you to the init function of your module. IIRC too, at then time kernel almost hit loading kernel module, check the /sys, load the symbol, the proceed again. I am fairly sure this trick still works.
