param: do not set store func without write perm (2014-12-18 12:38:51 +1030)
----------------------------------------------------------------
The exciting thing here is the getting rid of stop_machine on module
removal. This is possible by using a simple atomic_t for the counter,
rather than our fancy per-cpu counter: it turns out that no one is doing
a module increment per net packet, so the slowdown should be in the noise.
Also, script fixed for new git version.
Cheers,
Rusty.
