+The /sys/module tree consists of the following structure:
+
+What:		/sys/module/<MODULENAME>
+Description:
+		The name of the module that is in the kernel.  This
+		module name will always show up if the module is loaded as a
+		dynamic module.  If it is built directly into the kernel, it
+		will only show up if it has a version or at least one
+		parameter.
+
+		Note: The conditions of creation in the built-in case are not
+		by design and may be removed in the future.
+
+What:		/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/parameters
+Description:
+		This directory contains individual files that are each
+		individual parameters of the module that are able to be
+		changed at runtime.  See the individual module
+		documentation as to the contents of these parameters and
+		what they accomplish.
+
+		Note: The individual parameter names and values are not
+		considered stable, only the fact that they will be
+		placed in this location within sysfs.  See the
+		individual driver documentation for details as to the
+		stability of the different parameters.
+
+What:		/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/refcnt
+Description:
+		If the module is able to be unloaded from the kernel, this file
+		will contain the current reference count of the module.
+
+		Note: If the module is built into the kernel, or if the
+		CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD kernel configuration value is not enabled,
+		this file will not be present.
+
+What:		/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/srcversion
+Date:		Jun 2005
+Description:
+		If the module source has MODULE_VERSION, this file will contain
+		the checksum of the source code.
+
+What:		/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/version
+Date:		Jun 2005
+Description:
+		If the module source has MODULE_VERSION, this file will contain
+		the version of the source code.
