When we discussed this briefly yesterday, both Rusty and Arnd showed a
preference for not using __weak aliases... I'll leave it to them to
comment further.
The alternative patch that just provides __weak implementations for
these hooks is much less invasive than the patch I sent, effectively
touching only kernel/module.c
Let me know which is preferable.
