Hi Michal,
Idea is solid, implementation has a few quirks. As the name
obsolete_checksetup() implies, this was only supposed to be a crutch for
old __setup() calls. Modern code should be using module_param() or
core_param().
Did you have a specific example? Perhaps we should work on converting
them all, which would have beneficial side-effects as we poke into old
code...
Thanks!
Rusty.
