2006-10-25	[POWERPC] Support feature fixups in modules	Benjamin Herrenschmidt
	This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader. It also modifies modpost.c to ignore the powerpc fixup sections (or it would warn when used in .init.text).

2006-04-28	[PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc section	Alan Modra
	Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc) section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc. Currently the module loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address of the .toc section to use in relocations. This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
