Actually I think there's a wider issue here - modprobe failing due to
unsupported module options provided by configuration, kernel or modprobe
command-lines.

I can envisage other scenarios where a change in the kernel build
configuration removes the availability of a module parameter and causes
other modules to fail to load.

It's trivial for modprobe to check the options against what the module
supports and instead of failing, simply warn about the unsupported
option but continue to load the module without the unsupported option.

Attaching a debdiff for module-init-tools to achieve this.
