Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-module-and-param
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-module-and-param:
module: use strstarts()
strstarts: helper function for !strncmp(str, prefix, strlen(prefix))
arm: allow usage of string functions in linux/string.h
module: don't use stop_machine on module load
module: create a request_module_nowait()
module: include other structures in module version check
module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section.
module: clarify the force-loading taint message.
module: Export symbols needed for Ksplice
Ksplice: Add functions for walking kallsyms symbols
module: remove module_text_address()
module: __module_address
module: Make find_symbol return a struct kernel_symbol
kernel/module.c: fix an unused goto label
param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs
Fix trivial conflicts in kernel/extable.c manually.
