Following does make the errormessage more descriptive. Will be pushed to
kbuild.git soon.
Sample error message (not for real - I provoked it):

FATAL: drivers/net/s2io: sizeof(struct pci_device_id)=33 is not a modulo of the
size of section __mod_pci_device_table=160.
Fix definition of struct pci_device_id in mod_devicetable.h

The error is now fatal.
