Hi Amerigo,

This looks wrong. The extable covers both init and core exception entries. We want to remove the ones in the module_init section. The good news is that it's sorted, so they're either at the start or the end (except sparc 32).

Hi, Rusty.

Yes? The extable of a module is in '__ex_table' section, and during the section transfer, one section will be either in module_init or module_core, so its entries are only in one of them,
not both, right?

Thank you.
