The asm/module.h header file can not be included standalone, which

u32 get_module_plt(struct module *mod, unsigned long loc, Elf32_Addr val);
This adds a forward declaration of struct module to make it all work.

We used to have a general rule that where an asm/foo.h header and
linux/foo.h header exists, and the linux/foo.h includes the asm/foo.h,
then the linux/foo.h header will be used for including in .c files
rather than the asm/ version of the same. Is there a reason why
that can't be done here?
That said, adding this is no bad thing.

Thanks.
