Hi Alan,

I really like what you're doing with this patch series; using a binary search for the symbol table has been something I've wanted to do in the kernel's module loader ever since I optimized Ksplice's symbol resolution code to use binary rather than linear searches.

While Ksplice is not in-tree yet, Ksplice is a user of each_symbol (and in fact was the reason why each_symbol was originally exported). Is it easy to modify your patch series so that you don't have to remove each_symbol?

I'll have to think harder about it, but that's my problem. I should have checked the changelog :-).

Regards
Alan
