Need help reviewing "module" info b4 I continue...



As part of the m68k infitration (B-)) into the Debian world, we must add
all of the Linux/68k specific modules to the "modconf" package.  To this
end, I went through the kernel source and attempted to identify all of the
mods and the "insmod" arguments that each one supports.

Below you will find what I've come up with and was wondering if some of you
folks could take a quick look to see if I've missed anything or make 
recommendations for better descriptions and the like.

Thanks, 

Leland

Here's the list of modules:

                             Both values must be between 1 through 20.
Description: wd33c93
 setup_strings=      Define operating parameters and settings
     nosync:bitmask -bitmask is a byte where the 1st 7 bits correspond
                     with the 7 possible SCSI devices. Set a bit to
                     prevent sync negotiation on that device.
     period:ns      -ns is the minimum # of nanoseconds in a SCSI data
                     transfer period. Default is 500; acceptable values
                     are 250 - 1000.
     disconnect:x   -x = 0 to never allow disconnects.
                     x = 1 does 'adaptive' disconnects, which is the 
                           default and generally the best choice.
                     x = 2 to always allow disconnects.
     debug:x        -If 'DEBUGGING_ON' is defined, x is a bit mask that
                     causes various types of debug output to printed.
     clock:x        -x = clock input in MHz for WD33c93 chip. Normal
                     values would be from 8 through 20. Default is 8.
     next           -No argument. Used to separate blocks of keywords when
                     there's more than one host adapter in the system.
