The hotplug agents are just told what type of device was added and 
select a matching kernel module on the fly.

The right place to permanently add kernel module parameters on Linux 2.6 
is either the file /etc/modprobe.conf or, if it does not exist, one or 
more files within /etc/modprobe.d/. You can freely choose the names of 
files in modprobe.d. Earlier versions of modprobe for Linux 2.5/ 2.6 
only used modprobe.conf; modprobe.d is still ignored if modprobe.conf 
exists. I do not know how it is organized in SuSE 9.3.

Add this line to one of those files:
options sbp2 serialize_io=1
