I'm sorry, I still do not understand what you are doing with this self-module
pinning stuff. AFAICS, we should not get here unless there is a bug. So the
checkpoint module ref count is never decreased, right?

Could you detail what is this self-module pinning for? As I already told you,
this looks like a bogus solution to avoid unloading the checkpoint module during
restart.

Thanks!

Louis
