core_param() for genuinely core kernel parameters

Browse source 
There are a lot of one-liner uses of __setup() in the kernel: they're
cumbersome and not queryable (definitely not settable) via /sys.  Yet
it's ugly to simplify them to module_param(), because by default that
inserts a prefix of the module name (usually filename).

So, introduce a "core_param".  The parameter gets no prefix, but
appears in /sys/module/kernel/parameters/ (if non-zero perms arg).  I
thought about using the name "core", but that's more common than
"kernel".  And if you create a module called "kernel", you will die
a horrible death.

* core_param - define a historical core kernel parameter.
* @name: the name of the cmdline and sysfs parameter (often the same as var)
* @var: the variable
* @type: the type (for param_set_##type and param_get_##type)
* @perm: visibility in sysfs
*
* core_param is just like module_param(), but cannot be modular and
* doesn't add a prefix (such as "printk."). This is for compatibility
* with __setup(), and it makes sense as truly core parameters aren't
* tied to the particular file they're in.
