This patch gives me:

arch/powerpc/kernel/module_64.c: In function 'dedotify_versions':
arch/powerpc/kernel/module_64.c:325:33: error: 'reloc_start' undeclared (first 
use in this function)
arch/powerpc/kernel/module_64.c:325:33: note: each undeclared identifier is 
reported only once for each function it appears in

Cheers,
Ben.
