while killing some time between compiles and ridding the kernel-parameters.txt file of out-of-date or incorrect cruft, it occurs to me that that file is borderline valueless since it apparently tries to document every possible boot-time parameter, including those associated with individual modules. that's just silly.
"Silly" is such a negative word. I think it's aspirational. It probably can't be achieved, but that's no reason to give up, nor to remove existing text.
i suggest that that file record only the basic boot-time params, and the documentation for module-specific parameters be moved closer to the module source itself. there's no point in that poor file trying to keep up with all of the module development in the tree.
Better yet, would be if module maintainers updated the file as they update their modules.
