Andy was complaining about experimental params going away: I haven't
heard a single complaint about the downgrading issue.  I think it's a
nice to have, which is why I mentioned it.  I also CC'd the two
maintainers most likely to know if it *is* a current problem.  And note
that this code has been this way for over ten years!

No bug report, no cc:stable.

What if people were relying on detecting module parameters by the load
failing?  I'd rather find out when they upgrade to a new kernel instead
of poisoning the old ones, too.

Cheers,
Rusty.
