Also, since driverloader is not GPL-compatible (MODULE_LICENSE("see
LICENSE file; Copyright (c)2003-2004 Linuxant inc.")), that check is
redundant. How about removing it (applies on top of Randy's patch)?

Older versions of Linuxant's driverloader claim GPL\0some other text and
systematically set out to abuse the license tag code. We should continue
to carry the code for this.

I'm confused. Do you mean that we should continue to treate driverloader
as GPL? Oh, I guess I see. You mean that we should continue to have
special code to override their "GPL\0other text" license. OK.
