84 * the user can use "foo-bar=1" even for variable "foo_bar".
86 * @perm is 0 if the the variable is not to appear in sysfs, or 0444
87 * for world-readable, 0644 for root-writable, etc. Note that if it
88 * is writable, you may need to use kparam_block_sysfs_write() around
89 * accesses (esp. charp, which can be kfreed when it changes).
91 * The @type is simply pasted to refer to a param_ops_##type and a
92 * param_check_##type: for convenience many standard types are provided but
93 * you can create your own by defining those variables.
