module_init in linux kernel

[Xin Tong]

When one is writing a module, are module_init and module_exit
mandatory. I understand that module_init and module_exit are just
macro which place functions in special .text area. Is there is not
module_init or module_exit defined, is there any default to take over
or the kernel will panic when the module is loaded.

Thanks

Xin
