The new problem, which has been affecting many more modules was that
our new ioremap really takes chunks out of our vmalloc space. The net
result being that any two kernel vmalloc's now have to slot into the
chunked up space. So the vmallocs for a modules init and core sectons
are no longer necessarily contiguous. Unfortunately, the module loader
thinks that any internal symbol references should be satisfiable using the
jump instruction, which isn't true if the symbol is referenced from init
to core and vmalloc placed them a long way apart.
Fix this by introducing a new stub type for intra module inter sectional
jumps and using it.

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!
