Let's go with the former, please; no need to creat more disemvoweled abbreviations. Also, this seems rather generally useful. A quick check with "git grep -B2 MODULE_PARM_DESC" turns up numerous instances of the pattern. You might consider adding this as a helper DECLARE_MODULE_PARAM_RO in include/linux/moduleparam.h (possibly calling a generalized version that takes the mode as another parameter). - Josh Triplett
