Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] kprobes: Remove MODULES dependency

Remove MODULES dependency and migrate from module_alloc to the new
text_alloc() API Right now one has to compile LKM support only to enable
kprobes.  With this change applied, it is somewhat easier to create
custom test kernel's with a proper debugging capabilities, thus making
Linux more developer friendly.

Jarkko Sakkinen (3):
  kprobes: Add text_alloc() and text_free()
  module: Add lock_modules() and unlock_modules()
  kprobes: Flag out CONFIG_MODULES dependent code
