This rewrites the parts that can not be safely written in C (ie the
low-level register save/restore) to assembly.

The code was broken if module unload support was turned off.

symbol_put_addr() in module.c should be moved under __symbol_put.

A driver for the Mux serial ports in some PA-RISC servers from Ryan Bradetich.

Clean up poll queue handling, avoid doing any wait-queue operations
when we only want to get the current state.

(Yes, they should probably use __stringify() instead).

This patch provides basic x86 support for modules.

This is an implementation of the in-kernel module loader extending
the try_inc_mod_count() primitive and making its use compulsory.
This has the benifit of simplicity, and similarity to the existing
scheme.  To reduce the cost of the constant increments and
decrements, reference counters are lockless and per-cpu.

Eliminated (coming in following patches):
 o Modversions
 o Module parameters
 o kallsyms
 o EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and MODULE_LICENCE checks
 o DEVICE_TABLE support.

New features:
 o Typesafe symbol_get/symbol_put
 o Single "insert this module" syscall interface allows trivial userspace.
 o Raceless loading and unloading

You will need the trivial replacement module utilities from:

This patch adds a -DKBUILD_MODNAME to the kernel compile, which
contains the base of the module name which is being built.

 - Some sreorganization of the c_flags since they're needed for
   generating modversions (.ver) and compiling
 - Use the right KBUILD_MODNAME also when the user just wants a .i/.s/.lst
   file for debugging and also when generating modversions
 - It looks like with your current approach you can't have a ',' or '-' in
   KBUILD_MODNAME - however, that means that KBUILD_MODNAME is not quite
   right for passing module parameters for built-in modules on the command
   line, it would be confusing to pass parameters for ide-cd as
   ide_cd.foo=whatever. So that part could use a little more thought.
 - If you think your module_names trick makes a noticable difference, feel
   free to re-add it.
 - It's possible that objects are linked into more than one module - I
   suppose this shouldn't be a problem, since these objects hopefully
   don't have a module_init() nor do they export symbols. Not sure if your
   patch did handle this.

 - compile fixes in amiflop.c
 - removal of dead local variables in ll_rw_blk.c
 - removed gratitious devfs_get_handle() in usb/input/hiddev.c
   (no need to do lookup for "usb" and then create "hid" in
   there - enough to create "usb/hid" at once).

dasd.c forgot to set ->private_data, but was using it ;-/  Fixed.

Remaining dasd_devmap_from_kdev() callers switched to
dasd_devmap_from_bdev() (other than call from dasd_devmap_from_bdev(),
that is).

dasd_devmap_from_kdev() merged into dasd_devmap_from_bdev().

Eliminated several gratitious ->bd_dev uses.

Bunch of kdevname() uses replaced with bdevname().

__bdevname() switched from kdev_t to dev_t; callers updated.
