Hi,

This is a rebase onto Rusty's module-next tree. The syscall number
additions show the expected changes that are living in linux-next already,
just to avoid horrible collisions there.

I would _really_ like this to get into the 3.7 window, if possible. It's
gotten lots of support, and I think its cleanups actually improve the
readability of the module code.

This that be pulled from my tree:

Thanks,

-Kees
