This adding of a new parameter to all custom parameter parsers,
with rarely any actually using it is a no-go as far as I'm concerned.
That said, being of boolean type, this would need to be bool_t
anyway.

I considered adding a new custom type, but when this way. I would think that if a custom parameter parser is ignoring the "no-" (which they all do)
they should be reporting on it.


I.E. "no-lapic" currently means "lapic" and "no-nolapic" means "nolapic"
with out any message to that effect.
