small nit:

> +#else
> +static inline void memleak_load_module(struct module *mod, Elf_Ehdr *hdr,
> +				       Elf_Shdr *sechdrs, char *secstrings)
> +{ }
> +#endif

this looks nicer:

static inline void
memleak_load_module(struct module *mod, Elf_Ehdr *hdr, Elf_Shdr *sechdrs,
		    char *secstrings)
{
}

We dont use "{ }" in other places in the kernel, so lets not invent a 
new style if possible.

Comment style.

ditto.

Thanks,
