If the memory for the table is ever released after bootup, then this code may crash and burn. >WARNING: drivers/video/macmodes.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:mac_find_mode from __ksymtab between '__ksymtab_mac_find_mode' (at offset 0x0) and '__ksymtab_mac_map_monitor_sense' This one looks like a similar issue, but my eyes failed to spot the offending lines.
