Is it an out-of-tree driver which can not be embedded?

Hm, it is interesting situation. So I made the bootconfig API and data
released after boot (only keep it in /proc/bootconfig). So I thought
module loader script can parse it and pass params to the modules.
But I did not expected that the number of params is about 1000.

Thank you,
