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.
