So are you going to also add a mention of this fact to every single
place in the documentation that talks about some arbitrary module
option?
That doesn't make any sense, and neither does this patch.
It's better to make it more apparent that module options can
be set on the kernel command line when something is compiled
statically into the kernel.
That way it only needs to be explained in one place, not in
several.
I'm not applying this.
