 No, it won't. The code is executed only at the boot time, when
 the kernel is configuring PnP devices.
 
 As for the parameter value, the kernel warning should have shown
 you the right number, but it did not due to a bug. I'll fix the
 corresponding printf() so it shows the neccessary information. For
 now, if 16 works for you, keep that value.
