I hope not.  Ideally, the module API should limit the number of calls to a
handful -- io_map, poss. some sort of malloc, and a handful of others. 
The rest of the calls into the kernel would be between the kernel-resident
part of the module (the module hooks)  and the module itself, and
obviously those would also be so flagged.


Thoughts?
