Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Most of this is cleaning up various driver sysfs permissions so we can
  re-add the perm check (we unified the module param and sysfs checks,
  but the module ones were stronger so we weakened them temporarily).

  Param parsing gets documented, and also "--" now forces args to be
  handed to init (and ignored by the kernel).

  Module NX/RO protections get tightened: we now set them before calling
  parse_args()"
