Re: Would an "information module" be useful?

Thanks for your suggestion.

How do you think about reasons like the following?

1. I would prefer to avoid the repeated parsing of boot command-line parameters
because the reuse of the kernel infrastructure should be better here.

2. Documentation
   Module parameters can also be explained in the source files.
   http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x323.html

3. Is a corresponding check for specific data types "nice"?

How are the chances to clarify this implementation detail: In which subdirectory
should a kernel module be stored if it will not manage any hardware?

Regards,
Markus
