OK will do.  Thanks.

(to your another reply too)

I noticed this too when preparing this series.  In old versions the TDMRs were
always freed no matter module initialization result, thus it's not good to do
what you suggested.  Now we can do what you suggested (assuming we don't change
back to always freeing TDMRs), I just wasn't so sure when I was preparing this
series.

I'll take a look at the yielding patches with your suggestion.  Thanks.

Hi Kirill/Dave,

Since I have received couple of tags from you, may I know which way do you
prefer?
