argh, it doesnt even build cleanly:

 In file included from include/linux/elf.h:6,
                  from include/linux/module.h:14,
                  from include/linux/crypto.h:21,
                  from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets_32.c:7,
                  from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:2:
 include/asm/elf.h:286: warning: 'struct mm_struct' declared inside parameter list
 include/asm/elf.h:286: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want

due to zapping this bit of include/asm-x86/processor_32.h:

 -/* Forward declaration, a strange C thing */
 -struct task_struct;
 -struct mm_struct;
