Convenient mega-patch [63k]:

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.
