[PATCH] modpost white list pattern adjustment

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Tue Jun 12 2007 - 03:29:01 EST


gcc puts data into .data.rel or .data.rel.* on some architectures (e.g.
ia64) or under certain conditions, so whatever is legal relative to
.data should also be legal for those other sections. Fixes a few
modpost warnings on ia64.
