Hi,
This is patch for v 2.6.36 to fix problem that was obtained for UML with
mem=512.
There is a problem with relocatable symbols.
If module is compiled with -mcmodel=kerenel then a lot of entries with type
R_X86_64_32S are generation by gcc in relocation section. As a result
when module is loaded at address higher than 2Gb this doesn't work.
Therefore, suggested way to fix this problem is to don't make any
assumption about addresses at which modules can be loaded.
However, when -mcmodel=large is used, gcc doesn't understand %c in "asm"
instruction. So, arch/x86/include/asm/bug.h has been updated as well.
Perhaps, patch should be separated into two patches.

Subject: [PATCH] This patch changes flags used for compilation of modules for ARCH=um
SUBARCH=x86_64. -mcmodel=large has been added as default in order to avoid problem with
relocation seqtions.
