You cannot just will-nilly delete module parameters that you decide
you don't want to support any more.
Once you add a module parameter, you are stuck with it forever once
it makes it into a released kernel. It is a user visible interface.
I'm not applying this patch, you have to actually fix the bug rather
then wholesale remove the facility altogether.
