What's the situation with inter-lkm dependencies btw? I notice a
simple pr which solves this issue with minimal change. Obviously the
`right' way to do this is via /dev/ksyms (I don't think an in-kernel
linker, e.g freebsd3.0 is the right approach, though I can see a lot
of performance benefits), but the provided pr does not tie us in to
any particular framework i.e lkm `clients' don't care what links them,
just as long as they are linked. Can we not adopt this simple pr for
1.4? lack of inter-lkm symbol resolution leaves our lkm system in the
dark ages.
