For 2.6.34, the following two patches should remove the problem.
They're not in mainline yet but should appear in linux-next soon and
after a few days, I'll push them to Linus.

Thanks.

Oh, Steven is right. The ones which are removed by the above patch
are different ones. That said, it might be a good idea to apply fixes
for them to -stable too. Mathieu, are you interested in submitting
similar -stable fixes for kernel/module.c::percpu_modcopy() and
lockdep.c::static_obj()?

Thanks.
