Maybe we can remove this comment too? Since it's now asm/vermagic.h and
not asm/module.h anymore.

Thanks for the cleanup. I agree that <linux/vermagic.h> shouldn't have
any ordering dependency on <linux/module.h>.

I just double checked to see if there were any other users of
MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC that needed it through module.h, and there are
none. It was literally just being defined in asm/module.h to be used
in linux/vermagic.h. So there was no reason really to confine the
MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definition to asm/module.h.
