One of the mistakes a module_param() user can make is to supply default
value of module parameter as the last argument. module_param() accepts
permissions instead. If default value is, say, 3 (-------wx), parameter
becomes world-writeable.
So far, the only remedy was to apply grep(1) and read drivers submitted
to -mm. BTDT.
With this patch applied, compiler will finally do some job.
*) bounds checking on permissions
*) world-writeable bit checking on permissions
*) compile breakage if checks trigger
First version of this check (only "& 2" part) directly caught 4 out of 7
places during my last grep.

Now when kbuild passes KBUILD_MODNAME with "" do not __stringify it when
used. Remove __stringnify for all users.
This also fixes the output of:
$ ls -l /sys/module/
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 pcmcia
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 pcmcia_core
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 "processor"
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 "psmouse"
The quoting of the module names will be gone again.
Thanks to GregKH + Kay Sievers for reproting this.

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!
