That stub uses r2 to find the location of itself, but it only works if r2 holds
the TOC for scsi_mod.ko. In this case r2 still contains ibmvscsi.ko's TOC.
Here's my solution, a bit rough still. This replaces the module_64.c change
from patch 2/8:

I shuffle the trampoline instructions so the R2-save-to-stack comes first.
This allows me to construct a profiling trampoline code that
looks very similar. The first instruction, harmful to -mprofile-kernel
can now be replaced with a load of the *kernel* TOC value via paca.
Arithmetic is done in r11, to keep it bitwise identical where possible.
Likewise the result is "moved" to r12 via an addi.
Michael has a similar change that he intends to post. I gave this a run but
the system crashes on boot.

What do you think?
