I'm pretty impressed that it broke, actually.  "debug" is a weird 
pseudo-variable that's really another global variable underneath, 
corkscrew_debug...  but MODULE_PARM() uses "debug".  Sigh.

Further encouragement for me to convert net drivers over to Rusty's new 
module parameter stuff, I suppose.  His stuff is at least type-checked, 
and would have caught this problem -- a big advantage over the 2.4.x 
MODULE_PARM() stuff.

Fixed.  Linus, please apply.
