Hey Maninder, thanks for your patch!

Since this touches kernel/module.c and include/linux/module.h I'd prefer
this go through modules-next [0], and as you will see that's a different
world right now. I also have a set of at least 2 other patch sets to
merge there before yours.

Also, what is on modules-next is not intended to go to Linus for the
next merge window as the changes there got merged only late, and I want
at least 2 months of testing on linux-newt before any pull requiest is
sent to Linus.

Can you rebase to modules-next? I can evaluate the patches then for
integration there once the other stuff gets merged into that tree too.

I can't see Aaron's series on modules-next yet, do you plan to merge it 
anytime soon ?

As you say, it will be a different world by then.

I have my series rebases on top of latest Aaron's series, but I was 
waiting that it lands in modules-next. How do you plan to proceed ?

Yes sorry about that, modules-testing is what had Aaron's code. And
Aaron noted that from his series 13/14 and 14/14 from his series
had their Message-Id modified accidently via git-send-email. Given
*current events* and since I use b4 am to verify KSIM signatures
I asked Aaron to wait and post a v12 to aggregate further reviews
and acked-by's. The reason being that if his v11 series has issues
I rather start from a very clean patchset.

Yes I am paranoid :)

Anyway so Aaron, let's give it a few more days, and please then post a
v12 collecing all new tags, then I'll apply your changes and then try to
apply Christophe's.

There was some work by Michal Suchánek which would go after, but
its unclear if that's yet vetted by their other respective maintainers.
Michal?

Anyway, your stuff is at the end of the train after Michal's if that
stuff is really ready. So please don't be surprised if you later have
to rebase once again, or two or 3 times more. Thanks for your patience.

I know this has been quite a bit of churn, but given Aaron's series I
really hope we're goint to be in a better place for maintenance for
modules long term.

I guess I gotta go automate tests to these things somehow too.

  Luis
