[PATCH 2/9] module: __module_address

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Sat Feb 07 2009 - 07:47:46 EST



Impact: New API, cleanup

ksplice wants to know the bounds of a module, not just the module text.

It makes sense to have __module_address. We then implement
is_module_address and __module_text_address in terms of this (and
change is_module_text_address() to bool while we're at it).

Also, add proper kerneldoc for them all.
