Yeah, g_zero has a few module parameters. In fact many of the gadget
drivers have them. This is all legacy stuff, pre-configfs. We can't
simply remove the legacy gadget drivers and tell everybody to start
using configfs ;-) That's what we want, no doubt.

That being said, we're not taking any new module parameters to any of
the gadget drivers OR UDC drivers. Anything new is configfs-only. Legacy
gadgets only get bug fixes.
