+ *
+ * Usage : insmod lkdtm.ko [recur_count={>0}] cpoint_name=<> cpoint_type=<>
+ * [cpoint_count={>0}]
+ *
+ * recur_count : Recursion level for the stack overflow test. Default is 10.
+ *
+ * cpoint_name : Crash point where the kernel is to be crashed. It can be
+ * one of INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY, INT_HW_IRQ_EN, INT_TASKLET_ENTRY,
+ * FS_DEVRW, MEM_SWAPOUT, TIMERADD, SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD,
+ * IDE_CORE_CP
+ *
+ * cpoint_type : Indicates the action to be taken on hitting the crash point.
+ * It can be one of PANIC, BUG, EXCEPTION, LOOP, OVERFLOW
+ *
+ * cpoint_count : Indicates the number of times the crash point is to be hit
+ * to trigger an action. The default is 10.
