Subject: Really stupid /sys/modules patch

I've been using systemtap for some debugging and I noticed that it
can't probe a lot of modules. Turns out it's kind of silly, the
sections section of /sys/module is limited to 32bytes and many of the
actual sections are a a bit longer than that.
It seems to fix systemtap.
