The problem in general is that we can't tell the kernel about rules for a module without first loading the module.
But we can know the PCI id before loading the corresponding module, at least. So, it'd be possible to load the module only when no blacklisted pci id is found in the modprobe install script.
Yeah, but then we're in essentially the same position as we would be if we just blacklisted the module entirely, right?
Not exactly. We can maintain and update a per device alias blacklist here at openSUSE. The user doesn't have to make any additions to the blacklist file he doesn't understand anyhow.
