There only seems to be a module description but no actual paramter for
this.  I wish people would have listened to me back then and made the
description part of the modular_param statement..

__RING_SIZE is not in my tree, so it seems to be some kind of Xen
addition.  Can you make that clear in the name and give it a less
awkware calling convention, e.g. only pass in the type, not a null
pointer of the given type?

This doesn't implement my review suggestion despite you ACKing
them.  Didn't you like it in the end or did you simply forget
about it?
