int do_myroutine()
{
        int (*myroutine_ptr)(void) = NULL;
        int ret;

        myroutine_ptr = get_module_symbol("", "myroutine");

        if (!myroutine_ptr) {
                request_module("mymodule");
                myroutine_ptr = get_module_symbol("", "myroutine");
        }

        if (!myroutine_ptr)
                return -EINVAL;

        ret = (*myroutine_ptr)();

        put_module_symbol(myroutine_ptr);

        return ret;
}
