Do we want to make this sort of source code change? I thought that
the consensus about the kernel was that we wanted to avoid relying of
implicit includes of <Y.h> by <X.h> -- in this case a better change
would actually seem to be to explicitly include moduleparam.h in files
using module parameters and then remove the include from module.h.

Someone else made a similar comment, so it seems reasonable to forget about the patches.

I could easily make a patch to go the other way if there is an interest in that. On the other hand, perhaps the concensus is to just leave things as they are.
