I would say that this is only for kernel hackers, like Lukas, who know
what they are doing. But then again people needing that could just
comment out one line in nhi.c to pick the implementation they want
without any module parameter ;-)

I think I'm not going to add that patch to this series after all -  we
can always do it later if really really needed.
