On the other hand, this proposal involves adding a fair amount of overhead

modifying a core kernel subsystem (kernel/module.c). All to prevent
certain unlikely sorts of errors when removing a module -- something which
Linus has said repeatedly need not be supported terribly well.
So I'm uncertain whether other people will be in favor of all this.
I think Linus is in error here. Either do it right or not at all. I
would say that modules should work *always* and without any conceptual
problem.
