Thanks for all this work! Any chance you can actually submit this prior
to your allocate module series? This and the patch, "module: Move
module's Kconfig item in kernel/module/". Because *iff* we get enough
testing out of Aaron's changes and your cleanups, perhaps those might
be candidates for the next merge window. Then we can save all the new
functional changes for the other merge window.
