MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as
unused. It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the
most unloved drivers anyway.

The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly
increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to
be removed while the files were open, causing oopses.
This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and
srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was
enabled, which is not correct.

This patch adds the ability to mark symbols that will be changed in the
future, so that kernel modules that don't include MODULE_LICENSE("GPL")
and use the symbols, will be flagged and printed out to the system log.

sparse complains about every MODULE_PARM used in a module: warning: symbol
'__parm_foo' was not declared. Should it be static?
The fix is to split declaration and initialization. While MODULE_PARM is
obsolete, it's not something sparse should report.

This patch adds version and srcversion files to
/sys/module/${modulename} containing the version and srcversion fields
of the module's modinfo section (if present).
/sys/module/e1000
|-- srcversion
`-- version
This patch differs slightly from the version posted in January, as it
now uses the new kstrdup() call in -mm.
Why put this in sysfs?
a) Tools like DKMS, which deal with changing out individual kernel
modules without replacing the whole kernel, can behave smarter if they
can tell the version of a given module. The autoinstaller feature, for
example, which determines if your system has a "good" version of a
driver (i.e. if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that
provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile
and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn't yet
have that version.
b) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out
modules on the file system, you can't count on 'modinfo foo.ko', which
looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/... actually matching what is loaded
into the kernel already. Hence asking sysfs for this.
c) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be
possible to rebind a driver that's built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the
version) to a newly loaded module. sysfs will have the
currently-built-in version info, for comparison.
d) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what's
running presently - a question I get often.
There has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver
authors.
As the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact,
though the implementation is nearly completely new. Compiled and run on
x86 and x86_64.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
