Kids: do not shove random modules into your kernel.  Just because Linus does 
something doesn't make it a good idea.  modversions tries to be clever, but 
don't count on it; you want module signing for this (where did those patches 
go?)

BTW, I'm fascinated and a little nausiated that you ignore initrds.  We've 
moved half the kernel brains to userspace with udev, initrd and modules; it's 
really unfair that you're not sharing all that why-won't-my-machine-boot 
love.

Cheers,
Rusty.
