ExFAT kernel driver vs FUSE

Hi,
  I'm trying to figure out best way to work with ExFAT drives.
I decided to give the kernel driver (exfat-dkms-git from AUR) a go, and I found out I can only use it if exfat-utils is NOT installed,
because otherwise the FUSE driver gets priority over the kernel driver and so the drive mounts via FUSE.

This is bad, because it seems I can't have the exfat utilities (like mkfs.exfat) installed if I want to use the kernel driver...

Can I somehow disable the FUSE driver when it's installed?

Try blacklisting the FUSE driver.
