Looks like it is.

E199 kraxel ~/kernel/bttv-0.7.103/driver# grep no_overlay *.[ch]
bttv-cards.c:static int no_overlay=-1;
bttv-cards.c:MODULE_PARM(no_overlay,"i");
bttv-cards.c:           if (-1 == no_overlay) {
bttv-cards.c:                   no_overlay = 1;
bttv-driver.c:          if (1 == no_overlay)
bttvp.h:extern int no_overlay;

Now the more intresting question:  Why it works as module?  IMHO it
shouldn't have worked at all.  But obviously it does, otherwise I
would receive tons of "bttv doesn't build" mails ...
