create_module - create a loadable module entry
#include <linux/module.h>
caddr_t create_module(const char *name, size_t size);
create_module attempts to create a loadable module entry and reserve
the kernel memory that will be needed to hold the module. This system
call is only open to the superuser.
On success, returns the kernel address at which the module will reside.
On error -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.
EPERM The user is not the superuser.
EEXIST A module by that name already exists.
EINVAL The requested size is too small even for the module header
information.
ENOMEM The kernel could not allocate a contiguous block of memory large
enough for the module.
EFAULT name is outside the program's accessible address space.
init_module(2), delete_module(2), query_module(2).
