Note, both will still work. And it didn't change much. Today, anything
that uses "module_param()" with bool type (a quick git grep shows 570
users), already do not require a value.

Randomly looking at one... drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.c, you can
just do:

 insmod synaptics_i2c.ko no_filter

no need to add a "=1" to that.

But anything else will still require a value. I just want to allow
other parameters that act like a boolean to not require one.
