The feature controlled by MODULE_UNLOAD uses proc interface, so it
should depend on PROC_FS.

Hi Wang,

   This patch looks wrong to me; you can remove modules without /proc.  Does 
it not compile with CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y and CONFIG_PROC_FS=n?

Thanks,
Rusty.

Thank you, Rusty and Alan!

I think I was wrong. It is compiled fine with the above config, just tested.
