Done!

Updated on http://home.stny.rr.com/rostedt/dynamic as well as included
in this email for ease.

Now, I guess you can still get around this if the "Bad Vendor" were to
write a GPL module with their added system calls, and have that module
include hooks to their binary module. So, until we can fix that, I
guess Linus won't allow for this module to be included in the main line.
