How to write driver with load time parameter support?

I'm still not very clear the way to do this. Does this method do set the parameters at load time or after load ? Cause Linux can 
            insmod abc.o param=123;
param is set to 123 when abc is linked to the kernel.
 
Could u please give me a simple example? 
 
thanks very much!
CcM, a newbie.

I think kernel tunables (set in /boot/loader.conf at boot time or via
/bin/kenv at runtime, readable in-kernel via TUNABLE_* macros) are your
best bet here.
