The method for specifying module symbol tables in the kernel
changed. The old format was something like this:

#include <linux/module.h>

.
.
.

static struct symbol_table foo_syms = {
#include <linux/symtab_begin.h>
X(foo_sym1),
X(foo_sym2),
X(foo_sym3),
#include <linux/symtab_end.h>
};

.
.
.

register_symtab(&foo_syms);

The new format for the module symbol tables is:

#include <linux/config.h>
#include <linux/module.h>

.
.
.

EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo_sym1);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo_sym2);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo_sym3);

Just make the needed conversions and all should be well.
