Just want to nip this in the bud :-)

Only used for (dubious) debugging purposes, and exposes
internal kernel state.

The previous handling of PCI class masks was too primitive: the
class field is not "all or nothing" but has base class, subclass
and interface fields.  This patch changes the alias form from:
pci:vNdNsvNsdNcN to pci:vNdNsvNsdNbcNscNiN.

This removes the extable list, and the struct exception_table, in
favour of just iterating through the modules.  Now all iteration is
within kernel/module.c, this is a fairly trivial cleanup.

This removes the symbol list, and the concept of kernel symbol groups,
in favour of just iterating through the modules.  Now all iteration is
within kernel/module.c, this is a fairly trivial cleanup.

By making module_text_address return the module it found, we
simplify symbol_put_addr significantly.

  This patch makes us of a new predefined macro, instead of having the code
  directly in the driver.

  Here are the changes for s390 to set .owner for tty_drivers
  and remove MOD_INC/DEC_USE_COUNT. Martin has already approved
  this.

  This function did check misc_register's return code, but made no effort to
  clean up if it failed, leaving a large amount of potential crud lying
  around. I moved the registration to the start of the function, so that the
  cleanup is trivial, and made sure the device gets unregistered in the
  cases where it would not have been registered at all before.
