This is an excellent module, but I believe that my patch is still smaller.

Now we have two choices -- a version-independent module, or a small kernel
patch.
They will both generate the same names, provided that you compile my patch
in non-politically correct mode. By default, it substitutes politically
correct names for the non-PC ones.
You can get this patch through the following WWW page:
