If the problem is only passing parameters from the kernel command line
then you can solve this with a script which parses it and writes the
parameters to a file in /etc/modprobe.d/.
If there is a good reason to have udev load the modules for different
classes of devices at different times then this can be arranged too,
look at /sbin/udevsynthesize for the general idea.
