From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The command-line parameters "dyndbg" and "async_probe" are not parameters for kernel/module.c but instead they are for the module that is being loaded. Try to make that distinction in the help text. OTOH, "module.sig_enforce" is handled as a parameter of kernel/module.c so "module." is correct for it.
