Hmm, I understand why you only fixed x86, but it's weird.

I think MODULE_ALIGN belongs in linux/moduleloader.h, and every arch
should be fixed up to use it (though you could leave that for later).

Might as well fix the default implementation at least.

Hmm, that should be PAGE_SIZE (we assume that in several places).

This looks racy (memory reuse?). Perhaps try other order?

Cheers,
Rusty.
