[PATCH v4 2/7] moduleparam: add data member to struct kernel_param

[Jim Cromie]

Add a void* data member to the struct, to allow attaching private data
that will be used soon by a setter method (via kp->data) to perform
more elaborate actions.

To attach the data at compile time, add new macros:
module_param_cbd() derives from module_param_cb(), adding data param.
It calls __module_param_call_wdata(), which has accepts new data
param and inits .data with it. Re-define __module_param_call() using it.

Use of this new data member will be rare, it might be worth redoing
this as a separate/sub-type to keep the base case.
