This series of commits is a part of a larger project to ensure
people don't reference modular support functions in non-modular
code.  Overall there was roughly 5k lines of dead code in the
kernel due to this.  So far we've fixed several areas, like tty,
x86, net, ... and we continue to work on other areas.

If no one objects, I can queue up this series for 4.5 unless you have other
plans with respect to it.

Please do.

I was hoping to spread as many of these around as possible so I don't
end up with a giant pull request to Linus.  There is code out there
without a clear maintainership path, so eventually I'll have to send
some his way (or via akpm) but the less that end up in that pile, the
better IMHO.

Thanks,
Paul.
