I see no reason to turn it off. Except if it's bugg= y.

It would just make it easier for the users if the drivers would have a unified interface for this. Having a different modparam for each driver is ugly. But this just an idea, let's not waste too much time on this. Someone (not me) will send a patch if she feels this is a good idea. Most probably no one will.
