Subject: [PATCH 4/8] rust: module_param: add ObsKernelParam type
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 15:47:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226234736.428341-5-thepacketgeek@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226234736.428341-1-thepacketgeek@gmail.com>

Add ObsKernelParam, a #[repr(C)] struct that mirrors the C
obs_kernel_param structure used by the __setup / early_param
infrastructure to register boot-time command-line handlers.

The struct contains:
  - str_: pointer to the null-terminated setup string
  - setup_func: the callback invoked when the kernel parses the
    matching command-line token
  - early: flag distinguishing early_param (1) from __setup (0)

Mark it Sync because instances are written at compile time and only
read during single-threaded early boot initialization.

This type will be used by the module! macro to emit __setup entries
in the .init.setup ELF section in subsequent patches.
