Hmm, wouldn't this impose our kernel structure onto modules? This might
not be desirable for external developers, they may just want to provide
a single module rather than split the product into submodules that fit
our categories. Why not allow

SafeCo_firewall.ko

rather than

netif_foo_SafeCo.ko
netproto_bar_SafeCo.ko
etc.
