Cool - although I'd have far preferred to have get_module_symbol() still 
available in 2.4 for at least a few versions to give me time to switch over.

You say 'keeping the old get/put...' but 2.2 didn't actually have 
put_module_symbol(). The patch to make it get_module_symbol() increase the 
use count was never included. Did you add put_module_symbol() or was this a 
typo?

Alan - please could you consider Keith's patch for 2.2.next, because its
impact is fairly limited - it shouldn't break anything and it's important 
for backwards-compatibility of 2.4 drivers.
