The error is caused because gcc is generating a relocation type that the
kernel's module loader cannot handle.

This appears to be:
libelf/elf.h:#define R_SPARC_LM22 36 /* Low middle 22
bits of ... */

It doesn't occur when patched into the kernel build, since the
relocations are handled at link time as opposed to load time.

arch/sparc/kernel/module.c needs to be patched to support the new
relocation type... Based on binutils/gas/config/tc-sparc.c and gold's
sparc config this looks to be the same as the hi22 reloc...

Can you test the following patch?

regards, Kyle
