Re: [PATCH] Module parameters 4/4

[Jeff Garzik]

Another thought, more long term stuff:  ASCII parsing.  sysctls do it. 
random procfs files do it.  sysfs file do/will do it.  Your stuff does it.

Some of this should be a bit more general, or we will be doomed to 
continually reinvent the wheel...

[PATCH] Module parameters 4/4

[Rusty Russell]

This puts in the backwards compat code, restoring MODULE_PARM() to
working order.

It also moves __MODULE_STRING() down to the "graveyard" section of module.h
Rusty.

  Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell.

Name: MODULE_PARM support for older modules
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Experimental
Depends: Module/param-modules.patch.gz
Depends: Module/forceunload.patch.gz

D: This is the backwards compatibility code for MODULE_PARM.
