genksyms bug: Warning: "per_cpu__local_per_cpu_offset" [...] has no CRC!
I'm getting this warning when building 2.6.0-test[567] for ia64 with MODVERSIONS enabled. This is a bug in genksyms, it can't cope with some arguments of __typeof__. The following patch will fix that. Actually the argument of __typeof__ is an abstract declarator, but the genksyms parser has no production for that; decl_specifier_seq also matches some invalid constructs, but I don't think this is a problem in practice, since the compiler will reject them.
Andreas.
