  I understand. I was wondering if alias information is accessible in the 
kernel via any routine, alike find_module().

Just to get perspective about how many times request_module() would be called 
with the latest patch, in general installations(or distributions), how 
prevalent(in use) are binfmt-xxxx loadable modules?

Thank you.
