-This demonstrates a feature of kernel 2.2 and later.
-Notice the change in the definitions of the init and cleanup functions.
 The \cpp|__init| macro causes the init function to be discarded and its memory freed once the init function finishes for built-in drivers, but not loadable modules.
 If you think about when the init function is invoked, this makes perfect sense.

 Now, if you just install a kernel source tree, use it to compile your kernel module and you try to insert your module into the kernel, in most cases you would obtain an error as follows:
 
 \begin{verbatim}
-insmod: error inserting 'poet_atkm.ko': -1 Invalid module format
+insmod: ERROR: could not insert module poet.ko: Invalid module format
 \end{verbatim}
 
 Less cryptic information is logged to the systemd journal:
