Whoops:
In file included from include/linux/interrupt.h:15,
from include/asm/hardirq.h:18,
from include/linux/hardirq.h:7,
from include/asm-generic/local.h:5,
from include/asm/local.h:1,
from include/linux/module.h:19,
from arch/s390/kernel/time.c:16:
include/linux/device.h: In function 'device_schedule_callback':
include/linux/device.h:374: error: 'THIS_MODULE' undeclared (first use in this function)
include/linux/device.h:374: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
include/linux/device.h:374: error: for each function it appears in.)
Maybe better move the implementation of device_schedule_callback() to
drivers/base/core.c? (Though I'm not sure why
include/asm-s390/hardirq.h includes linux/interrupt.h, and e.g.
include/asm-i386/hardirq.h doesn't.)
