SubjectRe: [PATCH] Fix markers duplicate modpost entry (update)
When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared. It
caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates when a
markers was changed. This problem is present since scripts/mod/modpost.c started
to generate Module.markers,
commit b2e3e658b344c6bcfb8fb694100ab2f2b5b2edb0

It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.

I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

Credits to
Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
Wenji Huang <wenji.huang@oracle.com>
and
Takashi Nishiie <t-nishiie@np.css.fujitsu.com>

for providing the individual fixes.

- Changelog :
- Integrated Takashi's Makefile modification to clear Module.markers upon
make clean.
