Just make it a normal minor mode. I see no reason to do otherwise.
Indeed, this is exactly the sort of minor-mode which is likely to get
put into hook functions for various major-modes because the user wants
to control whitespace in that mode. In such a case (and I think it's
the most common one) the parameters are much more likely to be
_mode_-specific rather than buffer-specific.
