Convenient mega-patch [63k]:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/rusty/module-x86-20-09-2002.2.5.36.diff.gz

You'll want the 0.4 version of module init tools [36k]:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/rusty/module-init-tools-0.4.tar.gz

Changes since yesterday:

	o PARAM() introduced
		o Unification of __setup and MODULE_PARM
		o Does type-checking
		o Collapses - to _ in options
		o Obsoletes __setup

	o __setup replaced in core code (ie. ones I need to compile).

	o x86 implementation of module_put_return
		o Makes it possible to safely control own refcnts sometimes.

	o Old-style module parameters implemented
		o Because there are too many modules for me to convert.

	o Module refcount cleanup to out-of-line the "not a
	  module" case.

	o Probably lots of other things I forgot.

I have an exception table cleanup patch, but it conflicts with the
others (fairly trivially), so it's not in the megapatch:

Cheers & thanks,
Rusty.
