Cute.  That works.

Most similar current uses are a
integer bitmap equivalent.

echo bitmap_value > module_control_variable

if (module_control_variable & type)

I think that's cleaner and less error prone
myself but opinions certainly vary.

Sure, but the places that do have an available
struct device|net_device|wiphy should use the
equivalent appropriate call.
