[PATCH v3 0/5] module: Strict per-modname namespaces

Hi!

Implement means for exports to be available to an explicit list of named
modules. By explicitly limiting the usage of certain exports, the abuse
potential/risk is greatly reduced.

Changes since v2:

- switch to "module:" prefix (Masahiro)
- removed some patch noise (Masahiro)
- strstarts() and strlen() usage for prefixes (Masahiro)
- simpler ___EXPORT_SYMBOL() changes (Masahiro)

Not making using of glob_match() / fnmatch(); this would result in more
complicated code for very little gain.
