I mean after this patchset, see patch
	[PATCH 4/5] brd: Fix all partitions BUGs

It will remove this param

I meant that if any user-mode code was doing
	modprobe brd part_show=1
Then this "part_show=1" is now deprecated and can be removed

Though the part_show=1 has not yet been released in any kernel
and it is a very low chance that any one had a chance to
use it
