Hi, apologies-- didn't see my mail for a bit.

I get the problem with this tree and config (which builds with
SMP_ON_UP and THUMB2_KERNEL for omap3/4):

Tree: git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git
dirty/arm/omap-thumb2+merged
Config: http://people.linaro.org/~dmart/arm_omap-thumb2+v2_config

Thanks for the config.

Note that this tree contains some extra patches (though I believe
nothing is there which should cause the problem), and does not contain
everything from rmk/devel -- so it's possible this has been fixed in
the meantime or no longer occurs for some other reason...

No need - I now have some modules which contain SMP alternatives, so we
do need to fix the module loader for this, and keep the SMP alternatives
replacement code around. ?It's not worth eliminating the code as if we
include an informative printk() to say why we're refusing to load the
module, the string would be larger than the code it eliminates. ?So, I
think we need to merge the patch below to avoid run-time problems.

I thought the problem was not caused by removal of the fixup code, but
rather by the removal of code referenced by fixups?

Cheers
