I just liked that i915.foo was the same on both the kernel command line
and in code. I kinda still do, but like Chris I'm not too fond of
dev_priv either, and i915 seems like a good replacement.

Seeing how module parameters multiply like rabbits, with all sorts of
sanitization, how the parameters are changed in kernel, and
/sys/module/i915/parameters/ not reflecting what the user did, maybe you
could come up with something nice for that while at it...

BR,
Jani.
