Adding persistent module data to modutils meant that insmod had to be a lot more picky about MODULE_PARM() entries. There were a few modules that had invalid MODULE_PARM() entries, nobody had spotted them previously because nobody used those options. Since these are bugs in the modules and only a few modules are affected (less than 5 reported), the fix is to correct the modules that have coding errors.
