Why is it writable by root? IOW, will writing a new value to it
change the operational value dynamically?
Also, from the kernel-parameters.txt patch:
+ usbhid.mousepoll=
+ [USBHID] The interval at wich mice are to be polled at.
(a) "which"
(b) drop one of the "at"s... either one.
Is listing module parameters in kernel-parameters.txt the right thing
to do? (There are lots of them, not many are listed)
It's currently the right thing to do, but some automated overhaul
sure would make sense.
I see some options that might be better:
- Kconfig magic which extracts module_param* and MODULE_PARM_DESC from
sources and appends them to help text.
- a userspace script, that goes trough all modules and generates
kernel-module-parameters.txt for example.
- modinfo like tool (but i think it would require source or descriptions
compiled in kernel)
