modinfo will work for documented parameters, at least.

You were never supposed to remove module parameters, but that rule has proven difficult to enforce. This was chosen as a lesser evil, but of I'm wrong I will revert it before release.

A number of internet references[1] recommend disabling module (one-shot) by passing:
