OK, I had another sneaky thought here. You could use the system()
function to copy the config file to the /proc file. I haven't had time
to test this, but in theory something like this should work:

====
global config_done

probe procfs.write("config")
{
    # process $value here
   config_done = 1
}

probe kernel.function("vfs_read") if (config_done)
{
   # real processing here...
}

probe begin
{
   system(sprintf("cat config > /proc/systemtap/%s/config", module_name()))
}
