Jon, could you please apply this patch and release a new

Linus, I'm affraid this ruins the plan for Linux 3.0. Except if you want
to force users to upgrade module-init-tools, with the excuse that 3.0
is a huge step forward and breakage has to be expected ;-).

it just means you need to do 3.0.0 (with -stable doing 3.0.1) instead of 
3.0 -> 3.0.1
