+What:          /sys/module
+Description:
+       The /sys/module tree consists of the following structure:
+
+       /sys/module/MODULENAME
+               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.
+
+       /sys/module/MODULENAME/parameters
+               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.
+
+       /sys/module/MODULENAME/refcnt
+               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.
