Re: 2.4.9-ac12 ppc ftr_fixup

[Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>]

Please check that this patch against modutils 2.4.7 works.  It puts the
ftr fixup data in the archdata section of PPC modules.  Use
"insmod -nm -o blob module_name" to get a map and check that the
generated blob contains an archdata section containing the ftr fixup
pointers.  Pick any module from 2.4.8-ac12 that contains ftr data,
something using get_cycles will do.

The kernel does not do anything with the ppc archdata from modules yet,
that is a separate patch.
