I don't think a module parameter should be used to control power save
level, instead there should be a generic interface for that. Also the commit
log does not give any explanation why this needs to be a module parameter.

Tony, there's a high barrier for adding new module parameters. It's a common
phrase for me to say "module parameters are not windows .ini files". And to make it
easier for everyone always submit controversial patches separately, do not hide
within a bigger patchset.
