Right. After modload() returns, the framework would then do the modhash lookup it does now to find the right plugin structure to associate with the MAC. The part I find kind of strange is that the filename of the plugin module would need to be exactly the same as the ident string the plugin uses to register. If the developer makes a mistake and those two strings aren't identical, then there's no way for the framework to find the plugin once it's registered (that would be a bug in the plugin anyway).

That doesn't seem worse than a similar existing requirement on mi_idname in module_info(9S), for example.
