This would probably be better as an integer. Then we don't have to do nasty things like implicitly cast a literal to a char *.

Hmm, I used int for that first but typing npt=off seemed more
userfriendly to me than npt=0. So I used char* for it.

I expect this to be rarely used by users, so the simpler int is preferable (and also consistent with vmx's bypass_guest_pf and enable_vpid).
