Instead of playing all of these hand-coded assembler aliasing games,
just translate symbol names in the name space ".sym" to "_Sym" at
module load time.

GLIBC 2.3.4 and later changed the STT_REGISTER macro to
STT_SPARC_REGISTER, so we need to cope with that somehow.

Recently a change in the glibc elf.h header has been introduced causing
modpost to spawn tons of warnings (like the one below) building the kernel
on sparc:
[SNIP]
*** Warning: "current_thread_info_reg" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
[SNIP]
Ben Collins discovered that the STT_REGISTERED definition in glibc did change
and that this change needs to be propagated to modpost.
glibc change:
-#define STT_REGISTER 13 /* Global register reserved to app. */
+#define STT_SPARC_REGISTER 13 /* Global register reserved to app. */
I did and tested this simple patch to maintain compatibility with newer (>= 2.3.4)
and older (<= 2.3.2) glibc.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
