Hi Dave,

I'm not sure about that patch, but I think the firmware feature stuff
has been broken for modules for a while, we weren't exporting
ppc64_firmware_features anywhere.

The fix just got merged in the last day or so:
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d0160bf0b3e87032be8e85f80ddd2f18e107b86f

cheers
