So this has broken all module loading for me. I get the following dmesg
spew:

...
[    4.586914] scsi_mod: no symbol version for memset
[    4.587920] scsi_mod: Unknown symbol memset (err -22)
[    4.588443] scsi_mod: no symbol version for ___preempt_schedule
[    4.589026] scsi_mod: Unknown symbol ___preempt_schedule (err -22)
...

Reverting 784d5699eddc ("x86: move exports to actual definitions") fixes
it for me. This is with GCC 6.2.1, binutils 2.27, attached config.
