I've been working on making module loading more deterministic, these are some of the more straight forward changes I've come up with so far. The others depend on some further sysctl changes so I'll wait to introduce those, and also on a new kmod stress driver loader, which I'll also hold off on introducing. I believe these are pretty straight forward, but please let me know if there are any questions. In this re-spin I've dropped the kref / refcount proposals given its just overkill for what we need here. Luis R.
