Hi Greg,

Today's linux-next build (powerpc allnoconfig) failed like this:

drivers/base/core.c: In function '__root_device_register':
drivers/base/core.c:1277: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Caused by bf86dbd2451d1012c2c968a960470e485b869f5b ("driver core: add
root_device_register()").  This needs to cope with !CONFIG_MODULES (where
struct module is not defined).

I applied the following patch but only for today because it is too hard
to revert the above patch ...
