This is changing the "get" routine for reporting module parameters out
of /sys. I think the right choice here is sysfs_emit(), as it performs
the size tracking correctly. (Even the "default" sprintf() call should
be replaced too, IMO.)

e.g.
	return sysfs_emit(buf, "auto\n");
...

and:

	return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d\n", *ip);
