[PATCH 1/2] moduleparams: Add hex type parameter

[Paul Menzel]

For bitmasks printing values in hex is more convenient.

Prefix with 0x (#) to make it clear, that itâs a hex value.

Using the helper for `amdgpu.ppfeaturemask`, it will look like below.

Before:

    $ more /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask
    4294950911

After:

    $ more /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask
    0xffffbfff
