[patch 39/39] Fix longstanding "error: storage size of__mod_dmi_device_table isnt known"

[Greg KH]

2.6.28-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 40413dcb7b273bda681dca38e6ff0bbb3728ef11 upstream.

gcc 3.4.6 doesn't like MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, x) expansion enough to
error out.  Shut it up in a most simple way.
