Subject: [PATCH 6/6] module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section.
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:05:58 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901290005.59200.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)


OK, the rest of this series was really intellectual masturbation.
This patch just takes off the SHF_ALLOC flag on __versions so we don't
keep them around after module load.
