OK.

Really?  So you use this in two patches:

  /* see the comment above the definition of WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT */
 -static bool wq_power_efficient = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT);
 -module_param_named(power_efficient, wq_power_efficient, bool, 0444);
 +module_param_config_on_off(power_efficient, wq_power_efficient, 0444, CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT);

And:

  static bool sig_enforce = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE);
  #ifndef CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE
 -module_param(sig_enforce, bool_enable_only, 0644);
 +module_param_config_on(sig_enforce, sig_enforce, 0644, CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE);
  #endif /* !CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE */

But neither actually, y'know, cleans up any #ifdefs.

Simplicity is a major virtue.  Readability is a major virtue.  Brevity
is only a minor virtue.

So I have applied the following patches:

[PATCH v2 1/8] kernel/params: constify struct kernel_param_ops uses
[PATCH v2 2/8] kernel/module.c: use generic module param operaters for sig_enforce
[PATCH v2 3/8] kernel/params.c: generalize bool_enable_only
[PATCH v2 5/8] kernel/workqueue.c: remove ifdefs over wq_power_efficient
[PATCH v2 7/8] kernel/module.c: avoid ifdefs for sig_enforce declaration

Thanks,
Rusty.
