Remove MODULES dependency and migrate from module_alloc to the new text_alloc() API Right now one has to compile LKM support only to enable kprobes. With this change applied, it is somewhat easier to create custom test kernel's with a proper debugging capabilities, thus making Linux more developer friendly.
