The "third-party kernel modules" part sounds a bit worrisome to me. Especially
as this functionality is based on EXPORT_SYMBOL()s without the GPL suffix.

I read it as a "allow a proprietary module to mess with bios", which is a big 
no-no to me.

Not providing any sort of changelog doesn't help much either.
