How about external modules that have a kernel dependant part and kernel independant part?. Kernel independant part could live in a separate tree and
has its own makefiles.But regparm requires that ALL parts linked into the module need to have regparm defined. So it's another headache to write makefiles for the kernel independant part to figure out if the distro support regparm or not.
