Well, I don't have very strong arguments to support this, some of them: if I remove it the unregistration function will not use the parameter anymore and I'd like to keep the register/unregister interface symmetric. Very unlikely but it can spot other problems like memory corruptions? Although in that case, the kernel is more likely to crash. Please, keep it there :).
