yup.

neither.  use of nosys here is a 'fun' example of bad programming
style that's allowed when things like prototypes (or lint 8-) aren't
around.


i replaced the uses of nosys with use of a new function, 'lkm_nofunc',
and simplified the dispatch logic a bit.  it would also have been
reasonable to use NULL, but i picked the former, because it seemed a
bit more straightforward.


current LKM binaries will run just fine, but source may have to be
changed slightly (if they used nosys for load/unload/stat functions).
of course, if they did, they wouldn't compile anyway...  8-)
