In that patch, the new #ifndef is never used, as __NR_finit_module is
defined a few lines up.

This one looks better, but failes to compile:
http://bugs.funtoo.org/secure/attachment/11099/0001-missing-Don-t-call-syscall-with-syscallno-1.patch
libkmod/missing.h:27:17: error: '__NR_finit_module' undeclared (first use in this function)

I've changed your patch a little (put the real call into the #else branch).
With this version, I don't see the problem any more.
