Sorry about that. I've had problems in the past with my email client word wrapping patches, so to be sure the patch goes untouched I sent it this way.
Since I've changed email client since then, next time I'll try inlining again.

Yes, you are correct.
Right now I'm working on making the proc interface more eficient by removing all the seq_file stuff, that was needed because of the O(n) lookup time we had previously.
Not using seq_file with stem decompression would make a simple "cat /proc/kallsyms" to be O(n^2).
