There is no git commit. This is a solution proposed by me in the thread "Bug#334104: RFC: workaround for dmfe/tulip module problem" [0,1], to which I did not receive any comments, other than feedback from the original bug submitter and approval of the d-i release manager. The parameters are intended to be used when booting the installer, as it can automatically pass the parameters to the modules, and create appropriate configuration files for modprobe on the installed system.
