The x86 module loader wants to check the value of a modinfo flag
(sld_safe), before proceeding to scan the module text for VMX
instructions. Unfortunately the arch module code currently does not have
access to load_info, but we can easily expose that via moduleloader.h,
which every arch module code must already include.

Does this help? You may also need to implement a new arch-specific hook
in check_modinfo() to check for sld_safe, and I guess we might need to
expose get_modinfo() too. I realize that the detect-VMX-modules patchset
[1] is still very much in-flight, so if you do end up needing this, feel
free to just add this patch to the patchset.
