[PATCH] modinfo vmlinux

[Akinobu Mita]

Sometimes I want to know which kind of kernel parameters are available
for modules that are built into the kernel image.

This patch supports modinfo for vmlinux.

# modinfo -p vmlinux
i8042.nokbd:Do not probe or use KBD port.
i8042.noaux:Do not probe or use AUX (mouse) port.
i8042.nomux:Do not check whether an active multiplexing conrtoller is present.
 :
tcp_bic.initial_ssthresh:initial value of slow start threshold
tcp_bic.bic_scale:scale (scaled by 1024) value for bic function (bic_scale/1024)
tcp_bic.tcp_friendliness:turn on/off tcp friendliness
