* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-module-and-param: module: use strstarts() strstarts: helper function for !strncmp(str, prefix, strlen(prefix)) arm: allow usage of string functions in linux/string.h module: don't use stop_machine on module load module: create a request_module_nowait() module: include other structures in module version check module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section. module: clarify the force-loading taint message. module: Export symbols needed for Ksplice Ksplice: Add functions for walking kallsyms symbols module: remove module_text_address() module: __module_address module: Make find_symbol return a struct kernel_symbol kernel/module.c: fix an unused goto label param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs Fix trivial conflicts in kernel/extable.c manually.
