Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the overall security architecture.

Hello,

-module_param(debug, bool, 0600);
-MODULE_PARM_DESC(debug, "Debug enabled or not");
+static int __init root_plug_debug(char *str)
+{
+ debug = simple_strtol(str, NULL, 0);
+ return 1;
+}
+__setup("root_plug_debug=", root_plug_debug);

is this necessary? What about just documenting root_plug.{vendor_id,product_id,debug}, so it won't break existing root_plug users (if there are any) ? I thought that typed module_param() is prefered over untyped __setup()...

Thanks,
Petr
