IMHO do not compile them is a more easy and clean way. Then users
don't have to look into the code logic
which is meaingless for Module case.

BTW, it really does not make any sense to only condionally compile
__setup_parm() but left
the param functions definition to be handled by __maybe_unnused.
They're together part of code, aren't they?
