[PATCH] x86: move call to print_modules() out of show_regs()

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Mon Jun 18 2012 - 06:40:11 EST


Printing the list of loaded modules is really unrelated to what this
function is about, and is particularly unnecessary in the context of
the SysRQ key handling (gets printed so far over and over).

It should really be the caller of the function to decide whether this
piece of information is useful (and to avoid redundantly printing it).
