 * is writable, you may need to use kernel_param_lock() around
 * accesses (esp. charp, which can be kfreed when it changes).
 *
 * The @type is simply pasted to refer to a param_ops_##type and a
 * param_check_##type: for convenience many standard types are provided but
 * you can create your own by defining those variables.
 *
 * Standard types are:
 *	byte, hexint, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
 *	charp: a character pointer
 *	bool: a bool, values 0/1, y/n, Y/N.
