    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
     "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
      to speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module
      lock doing that too.
    
      A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
      breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
      another module (yeah, really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual
      suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
      appended too"
