FYI, I've tested that symbol prefix stuff works on linux-next for metag
(after fixes applied from Rusty's latest symbol prefix patch).

Al: your signal tree still breaks symbol prefixed arches due to stuff
like this in kernel/sys_ni.i:

asm(".weak\t" "CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl" "\n\t.set\t"
"CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl" ","
"CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall");;

Cheers
