  I don't mean to be rude, but the patch I had sent solves both of these 
problems with much less performance hit.

Please see -> https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/26/442

Worst case: instead of 2^6(64) recursions, it would make only 4 calls to 
request_module() function. find_module() does not resolve module aliases, it 
could be removed from the above patch.

Please pardon me if I came across rude or offensive, I'm only trying to make a 
case.
