Public bug reported:
When I attempt to load the nvram module, I get the following in dmesg:
[ 4349.637554] <4>nvram: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
[13216.672892] nvram: Unknown symbol of_address_to_resource
[13216.672990] nvram: Unknown symbol __alloc_bootmem
[13216.673098] nvram: Unknown symbol pmac_newworld
of_address_to_resource is EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, and __alloc_bootmem and
pmac_newworld don't seem to be exported. Is nvram supposed to be
modular? The lack of a module license suggests not. Perhaps just
building it monolithically would fix this.
This is quite important since /dev/nvram is needed to point Open
Firmware at the location of the boot loader on powerpc.
