Gah, I had a brainfart reading gitk and thought commit was not upstream
:(

(Paul Mackerras points out that gitk shows you what branches a commit is
in, so I now have no excuse.  He also offered to colour-code it for me
RSN, which would make it inescapable).

Yes, but that leaves this turd in linux/kernel.h from
cbdbf2abb7844548a7d7a6a2ae7af6b6fbcea401:

+/* This helps us to avoid #ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX */
+#ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
+#define SYMBOL_PREFIX CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
+#else
+#define SYMBOL_PREFIX ""
+#endif

I have reverted to the previous modules-next.

Thanks,
Rusty.
