Thanks for pointing this out.

I searched and found reference to CMDLINE_OPTS in the changelog:

    3.2 Version:
    ...
    o Added $CMDLINE_OPTS substitution to install commands.

However, I could not find reference to this variable in any of the other
documentation.  I wish that the variable would be documented on the
modprobe.conf(5) man page.
