I have copied the MODULE_LICENSE stuff from another driver.
Does anybody knows if this feature is tagged to be a remove candiate in
future kernels and/or in the modutils?


Another question:

I've noticed that (at least) the following files have their executable
bit set, although they are simple C source files.
./include/asm-ppc/ppc405_dma.h
./arch/ppc/kernel/ppc405_dma.c
./arch/ppc/kernel/ppc405_pci.c
./arch/ppc/kernel/ppc4xx_setup.c
./arch/ppc/platforms/walnut.c
./arch/ppc/platforms/cpc700_pic.c

On the other hand, the PPCBoot kernel packer script in
./arch/ppc/boot/utils/mkimage.wrapper have the exec bit cleared.

Is it a bit task to fix this?
