For the patch below, what are the "real world use cases" that would
cause this to be needed in the stable kernel trees? �Is there an
in-kernel module that is affected by this limitation?

There are no in-kernel modules which are affected, the "real world"
scenario is debug modules generated by Ksplice.

So why is this needed for the stable kernels?  This really looks like a
feature not a bugfix to me, how about you?
