Btw, couldn't the module/non-module issue be solved like this:

int module_do_blah(struct blah *blah, didel_t dei)
#ifdef __MODULE__
{
        locking_code();
        pure_module_do_blah(blah, dei)
        unlocking_code();
}

int pure_module_do_blah(struct blah *blah, didel_t dei)
#endif /* __MODULE__ */

Just an idea...
