One concern about this. We will still create a default number of 'instances'
when using configuration via configfs?

I'm not sure we can remove this parameter once the module is moved
out of staging, since we break the ABI (?)

The rest looks good to me. I'm pretty sure that moving this out of staging
will make the module more visible and people will jump with enhancements.


thanks,
Daniel
