    module_param: avoid bool abuse, add bint for special cases. · 69116f27
    Rusty Russell 提交于
    For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
    an unsigned int).  That's going away.
    
    A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
    will set it to 0 or 1.  This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
    'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
    might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").
    
    Use a new 'bint' parser for them.
    
    (ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
    it's also exposed via sysctl.)
