int proc_dostring(struct ctl_table *table, int write,
The new function can be used to update bitmaps via /proc. Bits can be set by writing positive values in the file and cleared by writing negative values (e.g. 0 2 will set bits 1 and 3, -0 -2 will clear them). Reading will show only the set bits.
