I think not having a module option is ok, I don't expect that the
enthusiast boards required to adjust the limits are that common. So it
shouldn't affect more than just a few users, and those it does affect
should know what their doing. Module options after all don't prevent
them from setting unstable rc6 options, either ;-)
