Hi Kirk,

The only reservation that I have is that memory somewhere appears to be
getting slightly trashed. From what I've heard about the state of the mm
system, I'm not totally sure if the kmod patch is tickling an existing
problem with memory management or is overwriting kernel data somewhere...
Considering that I've been unable to get kmod itself to oops, pointing out
a flaw is beyond me.

I guess only time and testing will tell...
