A simple more generic solution is to do this
struct things_to_keep my_bits
{
..
};
struct things_to_keep __persistent card_info[NUM_CARDS]
{
}
and have insmod do
load module up
open /var/run/moduledata/$modname
if exists && is from this boot then && is right size
read data into __persistent ELF section
endif
load into kernel
init module
and rmmod
cleanup module
open /var/run/moduledata/$modname
write data from __persistent segment into file
