Yes, no problem.  It is possible that the module.h split may not even go
into v3.1, in which case the fix patch will jst become part of the moduleh
tree after the block tree is merged.

Though the feedback to the original patch writer is that they should have
included module.h instead of relying on it being implicitly included.

You could include a patch to add an include of module.h to this file in
your tree - that way even if the module.h split goes ahead, your tree
won't get broken.  It could then be changed to the lighter weight
export.h later.
