From 6494a93d55fad586238cc1940e846c6d03e1aaf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 15:38:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Module: check to see if we have a built in module with the same name When trying to load a module with the same name as a built-in one, a scary kobject backtrace comes up. Prevent that from checking for this condition and warning the user as to what exactly is going on.
