You could edit the module source and hardcode default values.


Yes, but I don't want to do that since it makes maintance
harder.

If you don't have a module, you can not use module parameters. However, it might even be simpler... You just put your parameters (strings to parse) on the kernel command-line and you put code in your driver to interpret them.

You want to look at "saved_command_line." It is a string as:
extern char saved_command_line[COMMAND_LINE_SIZE];
You need to parse ASCII text yourself, in your driver, but it's trivial. Look at .../arch/i386/kernel/setup.c parse_cmdline_early(). I don't see anywhere in the kernel that it gets overwritten so it should be good to use.
