This fix has already been sitting on modules-next for some time,
queued up for the next merge window. But since it was actually one of
the patches from the last merge window that caused the OOT module
breakage, this should have be an -rc fix instead, my mistake. I will
send a pull request for -rc5. Thanks for pinging.
