Add a const 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_cb_data() derives from module_param_cb(), adding data
param, and latter is redefined to use former.

It calls __module_param_call_with_data(), which accepts new data param
and inits .data with it. Re-define __module_param_call() to use it.

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

I wonder if kp->arg can just be used for all this and avoid this patch entirely?

define something like:

struct dd_bitmap_param {
	int bitmap;
	struct dyndbg_bitdesc *bitmap_arr;
};

and then just pass a pointer to it as 'arg' for module_param_cb? And then in
the get/set callbacks you can use kp->bitmap and kp->bitmap_arr.

Thanks,

-Jason

yes, thanks, this is working out nicely.
I think I was thrown off by the arg name,
if it had been called data, it would have slapped me
