Hmm, I don't see this in Linus' tree yet, and it's a context-clash
pre-requisite for part of the general driver bool conversion.  I want to
push today since I have linux.conf.au next week, so I've split the i810
conversion into a separate patch, below.

It's been over a week in linux-next, can you push this please?

Subject: module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers/vidio/i810)

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
