Hello Linus,

you said you prefer 2.0.x-patches as small as possible? Then please
add this to 2.0.2...

ext2 fs compiled as module cannot be loaded because insmod cannot
dereference variable securelevel. Therefore I've just added
securelevel somewhere in ksyms.c. This is long outstanding bug since
securelevel was introduced.

- Andreas
