So I had all the data structure definition in the C file as well to keep
them private, and then you get into the situation where you can't put it
at the top anyhow.
I further wanted to keep the entire mod_tree stuff together so it can be
easily read. I suppose I can move it to the top of that section, but the
reason I had it there is that it didn't need to exist before that.

I made it:
/*
* If this is non-NULL, vfree after init() returns.
*
* Cacheline align here, such that:
* module_init, module_core, init_size, core_size,
* init_text_size, core_text_size and tree_node[0]

*/
To be consistent with the other comment.

Yeah, I dunno, that means moving that enum to the header file, I kinda
liked having it all together in the C file.
What Rusty want though.
