Hi Tom,

So this is probably a similar feedback to the ioctls vs netlink
comment from Dave...

I guess we agree that module params should be avoided when possible, right? so
this even goes further to a template in a header file used by the
caller modules to define
their own module param...  should be (a non academic, I read your other comment)
alternative here, I hope.

Or.
