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.
