Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] module params: few simplifications

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

This v2 splits out the #ifdef'ery eyesores out into separate
patches to make it clear this is a separate atomic operation
which requires review in and of itself. It also makes some
clarifications about how the module_param_config_*() can help
with eyesores, and also documents our paranoia over avoiding
bool_enable_only for now on CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE kernels.

It could be that we are comfortable with bool_enable_only's
implementation even for CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE kernels -- but
I'd rather let someone dealing with policy decide that.

Luis R. Rodriguez (8):
  kernel/params: constify struct kernel_param_ops uses
  kernel/module.c: use generic module param operaters for sig_enforce
  kernel/params.c: generalize bool_enable_only
  moduleparam.h: add module_param_config_*() helpers
  kernel/workqueue.c: remove ifdefs over wq_power_efficient
  kernel/workqueue.c: use module_param_config_on_off() for
    power_efficient
  kernel/module.c: avoid ifdefs for sig_enforce declaration
  kernel/module.c: use module_param_config_on() for sig_enforce
