This is my alternative to asm-prototypes.h for fixing modversion with assembly symbols. This preserves the goal of not having a central list of symbols that may get out of sync wrt the actual code.
An example usage is provided for ARM.
The asm-prototypes.h method is still available for those who might prefer it.
Given that modversion is currently broken, I'd advocate for the first 2 patches to go into mainline now even if v4.9 is imminent. That can't make things any worse than they are, and with this in place people may start fixing their own architecture.
