Subject: [PATCH] Updated module rewrite.

Convenient mega-patch:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/rusty/MODULE-X86-19-09-2002.2.5.36.diff.gz

You'll want the 0.4 version of module init tools:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/rusty/module-init-tools-0.4.tar.gz

Changes (roughly, it's been busy here):

	o Updated to 2.5.36
	o bigrefs and modules use a non-schedule-intrusive synchronize_kernel()
		o Makes it almost impossible to safely control own refcnts.
	o Mark unsafe modules at runtime
	o Experimental -F option to unload unconditionally
	o bigrefs use atomics
	o 0.4 module init tools do backwards compatibility exec of xxx.old
	o Probably lots of other things I forgot.

Cheers & thanks,
Rusty.
