One shortcoming of the driver relationship with the kernel is that there is no standard means of having the insmod parameters associated with a driver to also be parsed and set by the kernel parameter line. The enclosed patch is a proposal for the aacraid driver to pick up the kernel parameter line, parse it, and then adjust the insmod parameters. The format of the kernel parameter line is aacraid=<parm>:<value>[,<parm>:<value>]... There may be a better way of providing this service via the kernel without any modifications from the driver, since all the characteristics of the insmod parameters are exported by the MODULE_PARM_* hints. Would such mods be in insmod/modprobe and not in the kernel or driver? Signed-off-by Mark Salyzyn <aacraid@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Sincerely -- Mark Salyzyn Illegitimi Non Carborundum
