    Please don't top-reply.

    That is not true, the parameters are passed via 'uargs' of init_module()
    dynamically, this is when you invoke modprobe/insmod.

    For your own kernel module, you may use module_param() to provide
    parameters, the max of this is limited to the size of ELF section size,
    since they are stored in "__param" section.
