    Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
     "Most of this is cleaning up various driver sysfs permissions so we can
      re-add the perm check (we unified the module param and sysfs checks,
      but the module ones were stronger so we weakened them temporarily).
    
      Param parsing gets documented, and also "--" now forces args to be
      handed to init (and ignored by the kernel).
    
      Module NX/RO protections get tightened: we now set them before calling
      parse_args()"
