Right, the csumpartialcopy*.S changes are no longer needed after
commit cc6acc11cad1 ("kbuild: be more careful about matching
preprocessed asm ___EXPORT_SYMBOL") solves the problem more
generally.

I've submitted a new version of my patch, now just adding the
one header file that is needed to get MODVERSIONS back working,
plus the second patch for mmiocpy/mmioset to partially revert
Al's original change.
