The following patch transforms MODULE_PARAM declarations
to appropriate __setup() functions that are called for
the build-in drivers to get their parameters set up from
the kernel command line.
I'm using this for isapnp to make it not steal my soundcard
irq.
Any comments (apart from misformatted code :) and of course
missing 's' handling,... )
Richard.
