Obviously wrong: modprobe returns 0 if the module is blacklisted.
So let's try this way: we always try to load the module. Then, whether
it worked or not, we check for the sysfs directory.

A general question: why init scripts always try to return 0?
In this case, I'd see more reasonable to return 0 if the package is
not installed, 1 if we fail for an other reason: we were supposed to
do something, yet we didn't manage.

Cheers,

Luca
