Hi!
Please pick 334bb773 for 4.9 (only).  It's the x86 piece of modversions
fixes -- discussed to death in the biggest thread during the 4.9 cycle.
The current 4.9 state is that _usually_ module loading succeeds with a
scary-looking warning; there's a not yet fully explained report of module
loading failing at all.

Even just the warning is worth fixing as it wastes people's time looking for
what is wrong; it also, being WARN_ONCE, hides real symbol mismatches from
being shown.

The patch has been accepted into mainline for 4.10 and by Ben Hutchings into
Debian's 4.9 tree.
Now applied, thanks.
