This patch basically copies the gnulib version of memmem() into
scripts/kallsyms.c. While a useful function, it isn't in POSIX so some
systems (like Darwin) choose to omit it. How do others feel ?
Well, the only use of memmem in scripts/kallsyms.c is to find tokens of
size 2, so we can use a simplified version instead (and probably get
better code in the process).
How about the attached patch instead?
If you approve it, I'll post it appropriately for inclusion in -mm.
