I'm getting this in an ia64 build (don't ask me why I build for itanic ;-):

FATAL: drivers/acpi/button: sizeof(struct acpi_device_id)=14 is not a
modulo of the size of section __mod_acpi_device_table=144.
Fix definition of struct acpi_device_id in mod_devicetable.h

This is next-20130501, with or without Andreas' fix.

It works in my development tree based on yesterday's mainline
(d7ab7302f970a254997687a1cdede421a5635c68).

I'll try today's linux-next, and will bisect if I find time...

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
