108 * the user can use "foo-bar=1" even for variable "foo_bar".

111 * for world-readable, 0644 for root-writable, etc. Note that if it
112 * is writable, you may need to use kernel_param_lock() around
113 * accesses (esp. charp, which can be kfreed when it changes).
115 * The @type is simply pasted to refer to a param_ops_##type and a
116 * param_check_##type: for convenience many standard types are provided but
117 * you can create your own by defining those variables.
