Hi Greg,
are you planning on pushing this patch to Linus for 4.4?  It was resent
on 11/08 per your request on 11/07 but I don't see it in staging or
staging-next yet.  Since it fixes the depmod dependency cycle for
allmodconfig builds on mainline it seems worthwhile to include into
4.4-rc3 rather than waiting for 4.5.

Cheers, Andreas
