2.1.90-3: Doesn't compile (+ patch); module problems

The file linux/page_alloc.c has not been updated, a patch (from what I
understand form the documentation!) follows.

Note that I compile my kernels with the latest egcs snapshot (currently
980308) and the latest binutils (2.8.1.0.23 as of now), so the problem
might lie there...

The module system calls don't work anymore (they did in 2.1.90-2, with
modutils-2.1.85): lsmod complains "lsmod: QM_INFO: No such file or
directory" (but /proc/modules exists and shows stuff, but with modules
marked "(deleted)" (?!) that won't go away(!!)); rmmod goes "rmmod:
QM_REFS: No such file or directory".
