Subject: [PATCH 0/2] PCI/AER: Remove module parameters

I'd like to remove the aerdriver.nosourceid and aerdriver.forceload kernel
parameters.  They seem like basically debugging things that are not really
supportable upstream.

"nosourceid" may have some legitimate uses, but I'd rather it were done via
quirks with the flag Jon Derrick recently added so it happens
automatically, without users having to specify the parameter.

I don't *know* of any actual users of either of these, but obviously that
doesn't mean there are none.  Comments welcome.
