    SubjectAdd ability to keep track of callers of symbol_(get|put) ? (take 2)

    I came into the situation previously reported as "[RFC PATCH 1/3] Add
    ability to keep track of callers of symbol_(get|put)"

    The thread is here - https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/9/519

    A patch was submitted back then. Maybe it drop off the radar?

    On 3.8.11 kernel, I find that

    - for symbol_get, the 'holder' field of the resolved symbol's module
    does not update. mild annoyance IMHO

    - for symbol_put, when ref. count reaches 0, there is no 'rmmod'
    equivalent so it just stays there in memory. That somewhat seemed less
    deliberate?

    Regards
