Thanks for the cleanups. While we're here, I noticed that struct
symsearch is only used internally in kernel/module.c, so I don't think
it actually needs to be in include/linux/module.h. I don't see it used
anywhere else. We could move maybe that to kernel/module-internal.h.

Thanks for the cleanups. While we're here, I noticed that struct
symsearch is only used internally in kernel/module.c, so I don't think
it actually needs to be in include/linux/module.h. I don't see it used
anywhere else. We could move maybe that to kernel/module-internal.h.

Thanks for the cleanups. While we're here, I noticed that struct
symsearch is only used internally in kernel/module.c, so I don't think
it actually needs to be in include/linux/module.h. I don't see it used
anywhere else. We could move maybe that to kernel/module-internal.h.
