Merge branch 'params' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus

* 'params' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus: (22 commits)
  param: don't deref arg in __same_type() checks
  param: update drivers/acpi/debug.c to new scheme
  param: use module_param in drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c
  ide: use module_param_named rather than module_param_call
  param: update drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c to new scheme
  param: lock if_sdio's lbs_helper_name and lbs_fw_name against sysfs changes.
  param: lock myri10ge_fw_name against sysfs changes.
  param: simple locking for sysfs-writable charp parameters
  param: remove unnecessary writable charp
  param: add kerneldoc to moduleparam.h
  param: locking for kernel parameters
  param: make param sections const.
  param: use free hook for charp (fix leak of charp parameters)
  param: add a free hook to kernel_param_ops.
  param: silence .init.text references from param ops
  Add param ops struct for hvc_iucv driver.
  nfs: update for module_param_named API change
  AppArmor: update for module_param_named API change
  param: use ops in struct kernel_param, rather than get and set fns directly
  param: move the EXPORT_SYMBOL to after the definitions.

+ * @perm: visibility in sysfs.
+ *
+ * @value becomes the module parameter, or (prefixed by KBUILD_MODNAME and a
+ * ".") the kernel commandline parameter.  Note that - is changed to _, so
+ * the user can use "foo-bar=1" even for variable "foo_bar".
+ *
+ * @perm is 0 if the the variable is not to appear in sysfs, or 0444
+ * for world-readable, 0644 for root-writable, etc.  Note that if it
+ * is writable, you may need to use kparam_block_sysfs_write() 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, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
+ *	charp: a character pointer
+ *	bool: a bool, values 0/1, y/n, Y/N.
+ *	invbool: the above, only sense-reversed (N = true).
