Hey Maninder, thanks for your patch!

Since this touches kernel/module.c and include/linux/module.h I'd prefer
this go through modules-next [0], and as you will see that's a different
world right now. I also have a set of at least 2 other patch sets to
merge there before yours.

Also, what is on modules-next is not intended to go to Linus for the
next merge window as the changes there got merged only late, and I want
at least 2 months of testing on linux-newt before any pull requiest is
sent to Linus.

Can you rebase to modules-next? I can evaluate the patches then for
integration there once the other stuff gets merged into that tree too.
