I found that after rmmod the built module, it can not be insmod again.
Also the system experienced NULL pointer dereferences in
acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event() which may related to the built
module.
I guess these was caused that the patch only change calling to
acpi_dev_install_notify_handler(), not
acpi_dev_remove_notify_handler().
After change ACPI_DEVICE_NOTIFY to ACPI_ALL_NOTIFY in calling to
acpi_dev_remove_notify_handler()(see attached patch), now the module
can be insmod again after once rmmod.
