-	 * This one will change the name of the first matching symbol!

-	 * With this function, you can replace the name of a symbol defined
-	 * in the current module with a new name, e.g. when you want to insert
-	 * your own function instead of a previously defined function
-	 * with the same name.
-	 *
-	 * "Normal" usage:
-	 *
-	 * bogus_function(int params)
-	 * {
-	 *	do something "smart";
-	 *	return real_function(params);
-	 * }

-	 *	else
-	 *		printk("no way!\n");
-	 * ...
-	 * }
-	 *
-	 * When loading this module, real_function will be resolved
-	 * to the real function address.
-	 * All later loaded modules that refer to "real_function()" will
-	 * then really call "bogus_function()" instead!!!
-	 *
-	 * This feature will give you ample opportunities to get to know
-	 * the taste of your foot when you stuff it into your mouth!!!
