Subject: [PATCH 4/5] module_param: allow 'bool' module_params to be bool, not just int.
Impact: API cleanup
For historical reasons, 'bool' parameters must be an int, not a bool.
But there are around 600 users, so a conversion seems like useless churn.
So we use __same_type() to distinguish, and handle both cases (we could
avoid this and treat every parameter as a bool, but that would break if any
arch had sizeof(bool) != sizeof(int).
