Guilty as charged, revision forthcoming.

kernel/params.c  and other builtins are also modules - at least wrt
how theyre reported by dynamic_debug:

kernel/params.c:121 [params]parse_one =_ "Unknown argument `%s'\012"
kernel/params.c:117 [params]parse_one =_ "Unknown argument: calling %p\012"
kernel/params.c:108 [params]parse_one =_ "They are equal!  Calling %p\012"
kernel/params.c:188 [params]parse_args =_ "Parsing ARGS: %s\012"

The advice to avoid those macros does not apply to builtin "modules"
