--- Comment #8 from Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a at gmail dot com> --- Hi, may I ask what's the status of this? Besides of section mismatches in linux kernel it also breaks kernel's modules. Variable __this_module doesn't get into section ".gnu.linkonce.this_module", therefore module refuses to load.
