OK, I stand corrected. Sorry Kai, I guess this means that struct
kernel_symbol can drop the pointer, too. I'll dig out the old patch
and resend it.

I also dropped the "ignore vermagic if modversions set": you were
right that that's a bad idea, too.

So, here is my much reduced patch on top of yours. Please read
carefully since I'm obviously not having a great week 8)

Thanks!
Rusty.

Name: Tweaks to Module Versions
Author: Rusty Russell
Depends: Module/modversions.patch.gz
Status: Experimental

D: Fix the case where no CRCs are supplied (OK, but taints kernel), and
D: only print one tainted message (otherwise --force gives hundreds of them).

Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
