The big ones here are the new config files. They are now consistent about
EXPERIMENTAL. Driver authors please check if you think the tagging is

Also the MODULE_PARM change should clean up __setup stuff for many people.
Some drivers have MODULE_PARM inside ifdef MODULE at do not want it now,
some vice versa.
