Why are you creating a module parameter?  That was not in your changelog
:(

This verification should be a separate patch, right?

But the real issue here is I have no idea _why_ you are wanting this
patch.  The changelog text says _what_ you are doing only, which isn't
ok.

Please provide more information as to why this is needed, what problem
it is solving, and break this up into a patch series and resend.

thanks,
