Hi Michal, Idea is solid, implementation has a few quirks. As the name obsolete_checksetup() implies, this was only supposed to be a crutch for old __setup() calls. Modern code should be using module_param() or core_param(). Did you have a specific example? Perhaps we should work on converting them all, which would have beneficial side-effects as we poke into old code... Thanks!
