Why are module_list and modlist_lock not exported as symbols in 2.4? If they were available it would be very easy to realize some kind of module autoloading mechanism for example. Just loading the module via request_module and afterwards getting the corresponding struct module * by searching through module_list (and of course incrementing use count). It would be kind if you could cc to my private e-mail as I'm currently not subscribed. Thank you.
