while killing some time between compiles and ridding the

silly.
"Silly" is such a negative word. I think it's aspirational. It
probably can't be achieved, but that's no reason to give up, nor to
remove existing text.
i suggest that that file record only the basic boot-time params, and
the documentation for module-specific parameters be moved closer to
the module source itself. there's no point in that poor file trying
to keep up with all of the module development in the tree.
Better yet, would be if module maintainers updated the file as they
update their modules.
