Subject: [PATCH] Module loader against 2.5.46: 5/9

Now, we add support for the PARAM(foo, type, perms) macro:

o Module parameters appear as "foo", kernel parameters appear as
  "<modulename>.foo"
o Parameters are typechecked.
o Standard types are implemented, you can implement your own.
o Name "PARAM" clashes with include/asm-i386/setup.h, so we rename
  that to "PARAMS".
o Final permissions arg can be used for exposing parameters through
  sysfs (000 means no exposure).

Linus, please apply,
Rusty.

  Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell.

Name: Parameter Core Patch
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Tested on 2.5.38
Depends: Misc/strcspn.patch.gz
Depends: Module/module-i386.patch.gz

D: This patch is a rewrite of the insmod and boot parameter handling,
D: to unify them.
D:
D: The new format is fairly simple: built on top of __PARAM_CALL there
D: are several helpers, eg "PARAM(foo, int, 000)".  The final argument
D: is the permissions bits, for exposing parameters in driverfs (if
D: non-zero) at a later stage.
