This module parameter is just a temporary solution, because it is
annoying to have arm crashes during software development and testing.
:-)

Usually a hardware driver shall use the best method to deliver data (the
most reliable and fastest method). No need for an application to know
about that.

Maybe an optional filter flag which indicates that a section is supposed
to deliver large amounts of data might be a good idea, i.e. for private
sections which do not have a fixed pid value as opposed to EIT sections.
(And even EIT can be low traffic when filtering for specific sections.)

Andreas
