Number of IFB devices on a monolithic kernel

[Peter Rabbitson]

Hi,

The IFB device by default initializes only 2 IFB devices (ifb0 and
ifb1). I was able to find (only in the source, no docs) that the code
takes an optional numifbs argument, which overrides the default (line
221 at [1]). However it seems that there is no way to pass this variable
if the module is compiled into the kernel. Is there some special syntax
to do it, or a simple patch that would enable specification of this value?

Worst case scenario I can always change the number at line 59 before
compiling, but I was hoping there is a cleaner way.

Thank you!

Peter
