With reference to older discussions about blacklisting methods - modprobe supports -b (or in long form --use-blacklist) that will also block explicit loading by standard module name. Thus you could nicely avoid shell wrapper on fb stuff.

The switch won't block implicit dependencies though (so if A requires B, B is blacklisted, then modprobe -b A will still load A and B). That shouldn't be a problem from udev's perspective though.

Stock udev rules will use -b by default from the next release, peeking at the mailing list.

FYI.
