Wait, your company can't afford to have anyone respond to maintainer
mail for years [1], but you can afford to add new features? Crazy.

I hear Kalle doesn't like module parameters like this. They're a cop
out on properly supporting features (also, see your own commit
message). I'd have to dig through the archives to find the latest
advice and rules on this.

Overall, I'm not enthusiastic about this change.
