(replying to my own e-mail)

Note: I'm not sure anyone is using the srpt_service_guid kernel module
parameter. One possible approach is to leave out that kernel module
parameter for the initial merge. If later on anyone asks for restoring
that functionality we can evaluate at that time what would be the best
way to restore it.
