The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly
increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to
be removed while the files were open, causing oopses.
This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and
srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was
enabled, which is not correct.

The USB core symbols will be converted to GPL-only in a few years. Mark
this as such and update the documentation explaining why, and provide a
pointer for developers to receive help if they need it.

As the RCU symbols are going to be changed to GPL in the near future,
lets warn users that this is going to happen.

This patch adds the ability to mark symbols that will be changed in the
future, so that kernel modules that don't include MODULE_LICENSE("GPL")
and use the symbols, will be flagged and printed out to the system log.

Avoid an atomic operation in kref_put() when the last reference is

We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes,
so taking advantage of this can save many instructions
compared to the simple memset() call we make now.
A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u
and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara.
The next trick is to be able to perform an init and
a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table.

online_page() is straightforward, and then add a dummy
remove_memory() that returns -EINVAL just like i386.
There is no point in implementing remove_memory() since
__remove_pages() has no implementation either.

Try only lightly on > 1 order allocations.
If a grow fails, we are under memory pressure, so do not try
to grow the TSB for this address space any more.
If a > 0 order TSB allocation fails on a new fork, retry using
a 0 order allocation.
