     - It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
       that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
       spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional
       at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322
       bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is
       unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the
       code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for
       changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged
       as maintained by the live patching folks.
    
       The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:
    
         $ size kernel/module.o
            text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
           38434    4540     104   43078    a846 kernel/module.o
    
         $ size -t kernel/module/*.o
            text    data   ...
