[PATCH v2 4/8] moduleparam.h: add module_param_config_*() helpers

["Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@do-not-panic.com>]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

This adds a couple of bool module_param_config_*() helpers
which are designed to let us easily associate a boolean
module parameter with an associated kernel configuration
option. Folks can use this to avoid what typically would
be #ifdef eyesores around module parameter declarations.
