Hi all!

As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we are looking at multiple integrity errors in linux'
configuration system.

There's a typo in linux' source (CONFIG_MODULE -- missing the
final S) making the whole codeblock unselectable. The included patch
should address this issue.

Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

Christoph Egger

Subject: [PATCH] CONFIG_MODULES misstyped as _MODULE

In this code section the final S of CONFIG_MODULES was missed making
the whole check useless
