+Subject: [PATCH 021/165] Fix modpost failures in fedora 17
+
+commit e88aa7bbbe3046a125ea1936b16bb921cc9c6349 upstream.
+
+The symbol table on x86-64 starts to have entries that have names
+like:
+
+_GLOBAL__sub_I_65535_0___mod_x86cpu_device_table
+
+They are of type STT_FUNCTION and this one had a length of 18.  This
+matched the device ID validation logic and it barfed because the
+length did not meet the device type's criteria.
+
+--------------------
+FATAL: arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel: sizeof(struct x86cpu_device_id)=16 is not a modulo of the size of section __mod_x86cpu_device_table=18.
+Fix definition of struct x86cpu_device_id in mod_devicetable.h
+--------------------
+
+These are some kind of compiler tool internal stuff being emitted and
+not something we want to inspect in modpost's device ID table
+validation code.
+
+So skip the symbol if it is not of type STT_OBJECT.
