Subject[PATCH] sparc64 module_map dont vfree
sparc64 has a module_map() modelled on vmalloc(), but using a separate
modvmlist of areas. After allocating an area, if the call to allocate
the pages and map them in fails, it needs to free that area: which at
present it's trying to do by calling vfree() - but that searches vmlist
not modvmlist. It should be calling its own module_unmap() instead.
Patch below against 2.4.2-ac28 or 2.4.3-pre8.
