	I guess I'm not seeing what's simpler.  Four lines of
try_module_get() aren't very complex, really.  Conversely, having some
functions that *don't* do config_item_get_item() is weird.  Not invalid,
just harder to read.
	Let's put it on the shelf.  What I have with this patch is
really no different in effective behavior.
