    Being able to create the kstrtobool_from_user with a single macro
    invocation is convenient, but I don't think that justifies the ugliness
    of having an unused parameter. People reading this code or trying to use
    the interface will wonder what it's doing there, and it will generate
    slightly larger code for all the users of strtobool.

    So I'd just make a separate explicit definition of kstrtobool_from_user
    (the stack buffer sizing doesn't apply to the strings we want to parse
    anyway, though 11 is of course plenty).
