Now that I stop and think about it, that would be better option. The  
modparam already has default value of 500.

Reason why workaround modparam is signed, is that value -1 did have  
some functionality in some early version. That then changed and  
priv->param_workaround_interval changed to unsigned and forgot about  
modparam.
