Subject[PATCH] sys_init_module refuses to load module without init code/data sections

load_module() stores in mod->init_size the size of init data and init
code sections, and later allocs (using module_alloc()) mod->init_size
bytes.

If the module has not init data and init code sections mod->init_size
is 0, so module_alloc() will return NULL and load_module() will abort
loading the module with -ENOMEM.

Possible patch attached, sorry if this is a known issue.

Best regards,
Juanma
