Yes, but if I want dynamic switching using the stamina-speed hardware
switch I need to load the module with speed_stamina=3.

Well, a different solution would be to:
- blacklist the sony-laptop module
- load it only on demand in /etc/init.d/switch-graphics with
  speed-stamina=1|2 depending on the value of the hardware switch

No idea.
