$ sudo modprobe rust_minimal test_parameter=2
[  251.384125] rust_minimal: Rust minimal sample (init)
[  251.384600] rust_minimal: Am I built-in? false
[  251.385010] rust_minimal: My parameter: 2
```

IMHO, this is slightly confusing, since the parameter is named
“test_parameter”, but you’re printing “My parameter”.

This is of course very minor. Overall, congrats on getting this to work :)
