what is the value of the macro "__setup_param"?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  perhaps i'm missing it, but it seems that the macro __setup_param is
entirely superfluous:

$ grep -rw __setup_param *
include/linux/init.h:#define __setup_param(str, unique_id, fn, early)      \
include/linux/init.h:   __setup_param(str, unique_id, NULL, 0)
include/linux/init.h:   __setup_param(str, fn, fn, 0)
include/linux/init.h:   __setup_param(str, fn, fn, 1)
include/linux/init.h:#define __setup_param(str, unique_id, fn)  /* nothing */
$

or am i must misreading something badly?
