r128_context_switch is the context_switch in drivers/char/drm/drm_context.h,
I had an __archdata section, but it was empty.
Did the .o file have section __ftr_fixup?  Use objdump -h.  And did
insmod pick up that newly compile module or did it pick up the
installed version?

I guess I should go get some sleep now... __archdata is 8 not 0, but the
last section I see (insmod -nm ./r128.o > r128.out) is the .bss...
