This is currently only fixed for powerpc. Fixes for x86 and ARM were
proposed but not merged, and all other architectures don't even have
a fix as far as I can tell.

It's only broken with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y though, and not all modules
are affected on all architectures, so a lot of testers have not noticed.
