Ah, right.

So that the function entries in sysfs would be created only when the 
object is loaded? Well, why not, but in that case it could easily confuse 
the user. Object entry would be empty for not loaded object. I would not 
dare to propose to remove such object entries. It would make things worse. 
So maybe we could introduce an attribute in sysfs object entry which would 
say if the object is loaded or not. Or something like that. Hm, we can 
easily mess this up :)
