[2.6 patch] MODULE_PARM_: remove the __deprecated

[Adrian Bunk]

Hi Rusty,

I know you will not like this patch, but I consider it important since 
the current beghavior is pretty annoying.

When making patches here and there, I'm touching many different places 
in the kernel. One of the advantages of the 2.6 build system is that 
warnings are very visible - and often a new compile warning indicates 
that something with the patch is wrong.

MODULE_PARM_ might be deprecated.
But there are still over 2000 places in the kernel where it's used.
I consider it _very_ annoying if after changing the kernel, the whole 
screen is swamped with warnings that MODULE_PARM_ is deprecated as it 
still happens in several subsystems. That's quite annoying if you want 
to check whether changing a common header file has any negative effects.

This is not generally against using __deprecated, but currently 
MODULE_PARM_ generates so many warnings that it's really no fun.
