Just a suggestion, but would it be useful to add a comment to explain 
the three conditions of ucode_mod_idx that are being handled before 
scanning is attempted? These being negative value, a valid module index, 
and module index wasn't already claimed in the module map.

Otherwise,

The already did that, but it's in the next patch, which also rearranges
