    Hello
    I tried to adapt an old module to the new format used
    by 2.6 kernels
    and i have a question about .gnu.linkonce.this_module
    section.
    It should contain a "module" structure from what i
    understood in the
    kernel sources but i can't quite figure out how can
    there be a
    difference of 1064 dwords between the storage location
    for the init
    subroutine and the storage location for the cleanup
    routine.
    The "module" structure itself is 96 bytes on my
    machine. I have a
    Pentium4 processor and linux kernel 2.6.0-test3.
    How is this possible ?

    Thank you
    Snowdog
