Looks like I stumbled on a kernel Makefile bug.
When you rebuild the kernel, the symbol entries
in include/linux/modversions/*.ver do not get
updated automatically. You have to manually delete
these files then do the kernel build to generate
the versioned symbols for a new kernel (i.e. an
SMP version).
