From 74e08fcf7bef973512a1f813700f802a93678670 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonas Bonn Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 21:22:11 +0200 Subject: modules: add default loader hook implementations The module loader code allows architectures to hook into the code by providing a small number of entry points that each arch must implement. This patch provides __weakly linked generic implementations of these entry points for architectures that don't need to do anything special.
