Ah, sorry I was confused. I somehow thought Rusty's patch has been
already merged after 2.6.32, but it didn't happen in reality.

Then I'm for merging the changes even for 2.6.34 although it's late.
In the API side, there aren't many changes. And it might reduce the
whole binary size in the end by the use of module_parm_ops pointer,
too.


thanks,
