[PATCH] modules: put srcversion checksum in each modinfo section
Separate the module source and header checksum into a separate modinfo
field srcversion.
With CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL=y, put srcversion into every module, not
just those with MODULE_VERSION("something").
Patch by Rusty Russell, trivial merging and testing by Matt Domsch
