LKM's do not currently work. They used to work at one point but due to an
increase in the kernels VM data area in practice the LKM are now located
more than 32MB away from the rest of the kernel. This means that functions
in an LKM cannot use branch instructions to call kernel functions.

Hopefully this should not be to complicated but is one of those things I
have not got round to sorting out.
