This patch is simple in an other aspect, too: it achieves nothing which
can't be done without it (and it disturbs the current scheme).
The traditional way to give values during "insmod" is:
sbin/insmod sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x300,0
and the "traditional" element is: initializer name is the same as
module name.
