Subject: [PATCH 0/2] kernel/module.c locking changes

In response to Linus' almost-rational dislike of the lock-drop-and-regrab
patch, I've dug out and updated the fine-grained locking patch for module.c.
Simple testing here seems to work, and it might have a good effect on boot
times too (its original target).

Pull request for those who find that easier:

The following changes since commit 67a3e12b05e055c0415c556a315a3d3eb637e29e:
  Linus Torvalds (1):
        Linux 2.6.35-rc1

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6.git modules

Rusty Russell (3):
      module: fix reference to mod->percpu after freeing module.
      module: make locking more fine-grained.
      module: fix bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c"
