From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <[email protected]> This adds a couple of bool module_param_config_*() helpers which are designed to let us easily associate a boolean module parameter with an associated kernel configuration option. Folks can use this to avoid what typically would be #ifdef eyesores around module parameter declarations.
