I guess there are some mistakes

1) return mod->builtin == KMOD_BUILTIN_YES; should be made to
return builtin == KMOD_BUILTIN_YES;
2) S_ISDIR check needs to be removed.

Lucas,
In any case , Can this patch can be taken in sequence?
My first original patch of removing directory check can be taken first. Then the necessary changes required. (you might add as well in your free time as suggested by you)
