Have you thought about using the kobj framework instead? It would might
make the invidiual call a bit slower (hash table lookup + comparison +
indirect call vs. array lookup + indirect call), but it could make
the system more extensible and possible less error prone e.g. for third
party modules.
I have to think about the rest of the mail today :)
