Hi Alison,

I'm planning to throw together QEMU support for this and test
it. In meantime a few quick comments / suggestions inline.

Thanks,

Maybe kstrtobool?  If you do then fine to leave the documentation claiming
it's tighter as that'll tell people who actually read it to expect to
write a 1.

Feels noisy when I'd expect -EINVAL to be enough info to indicate an invalid
parameter.

Here I'd expect the error code to returned on the write to probably be enough
info so not sure this error print is useful either.

and drop the local variable is shorter and I don't htink it loses
any readability.
