Excellent: tested on bk8. Linus, please apply (subsumes previous
patch: if you get a couple of rej's ignore them).

James: I changed the names to s/code/text/ since that's more expected
for toolchain-type people. I frobbed the NOTE: comment a bit, and
moved the m == 0 tests outside the section loop.

Thanks!
Rusty.

================
Name: Identify Code Section Of Modules for kallsyms
Author: James Bottomley
Status: Tested on 2.5.73-bk8

D: Remember the size of the SHF_EXECINSTR sections, which are conveniently
D: at the start of the modules, and use that to more reliably implement
D: module_text_address().
