Subject: 2.4.0-test5 ppc patch

Linus, please apply, against 2.4.0-test5.  arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds does
not explicitly define the .krstrtab and __ksymtab sections.  It just so
happens that the linker does it anyway by some black magic, but it is
better to be consistent with other architectures and make the sections
explicit.

The lack of explicit sections makes it look like ppc does not support
modules.
