    module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed. · d453cded
    Rusty Russell authored
    Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
    allocations.  Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
    let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
    that.
    
    This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
    their own module_free() at all.  avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
    either.
