Plus there are (admittedly indeed rather small and trivial) changes to
s390 module loader, so I'd prefer to have Heiko's / Martin's Ack before
merging this.

Hence, let me piggy back on this ping to Rusty, and let me ping Heiko and
Martin as well (adding to CC explicitly to make sure this doesn't get lost
in general noise).
