allocations.
2. Add a new member mod_flags to the 'struct module *' and define
MODFLG_MUST_FORCE. If this flag is set and the entry is on the list
of builtins, it means that the module has been explicitly unloaded
and any re-loads will require the MODCTL_LOAD_FORCE flag. Provide a
module_require_force() method to set this flag; once set, it should
never be unset.
3. Rename original module_init2() to module_start_unload_thread() to be
more descriptive of what it does.
4. Add a new module_builtin_require_force() routine that sets the
MODFLG_MUST_FORCE flag for any module that has not yet successfully
been initialized. Call it after module_init_class(MODULE_CLASS_ANY)
to disable remaining built-in modules.
This makes built-in versions of the xxxVERBOSE modules work once more,
resolving breakage reported by jruoho@ and njoly@.
Discussed on tech-kern, and comments and suggestions implemented. No
additional discussion for last week. Tested only on amd64 systems, but
there's nothing here that should be port- or architecture-specific (no
more specific than existing module implementation) so others should not
break.
