I did that just to get a compile and see what happens. As I said, I had no 
parameters doing this.

Here is what I tried
#include <linux/moduleparam.h>
#define MODULE_PARM( intvar, typestr ) module_param( intvar, int, 0644  )

in realtime/realcap.c, the second argument was always "i" which I assumed 
wanted to be int.
I also assumed that the repeat of name in the moduleparam.h #define  put one 
copy through the stringify, set the default value from the other.

In kqemu.ko, the nulled version I used seemed to be OK, the thing modprobing 
with its usual defaults. Realtime is started with paramters such as "gid".

This apparently did not work.
