It works, thanks!! Can we get this pushed to Linus before 2.6.28 opens? This is technically a regression since it was broken around 2.6.27-rc1.
Also, something we need to consider is getting distributions to ship Modules.markers, and where it should be installed. I would argue that it belongs in /lib/modules/`uname -r`, so maybe "make modules_install" should put it there? This attention to deployability is going to be important if markers are to be successfully used by applications such as Systemtap.
