Sort of suggests shell scripts, the idea of which I'm hating. What about just
providing a blacklist of modules that we have to rmmod and modprobe at suspend?
That could be done inside of HAL (well, an addon I guess)

HAL should do the action, g-p-m is architecture neutral, that's the point :-)

Sure, but I figured once, say suspend, was in HAL it's pretty trivial to add 
more. It's the first one that's the killer. :-)
