SubjectRe: [RFC][PATCH] module: Optimize __module_address() using a latched RB-tree

Um, so the stack unwinders use "does this look like a kernel address"
because we omit the frame pointer?

To keep that optimization, we add 220 non-trivial lines to module.c?

Don't get me wrong, it's cute code, but I do wonder if at some point a
grown up is going to come along and tell us to stop :)

Cheers,
Rusty.
