[PATCH v2 0/3] param: optional /sys/module/*/parameters

[David Decotigny]

Hi,

Thank you Rusty for your review.

Here is the v2. I hope it is easier to understand. It also adds
doc for the new Kconfig knob.

Description:

  These patches turn /sys/module/*/parameters into an optional feature
  that can be enabled/disabled at compilation time. The goal is to
  encourage module developers to expose more of their parameters with
  fewer hesitations (eg. memory concerns, etc.), as the burden on
  small systems can now be avoided by disabling
  /sys/module/*/paramaters/ altogether at compile-time. On larger
  systems, having more module parameters exposed would help
  debugging/auditing of live systems.

Regards,
